Help us celebrate 40 years of excellence throughout the Academic year of 2006 – 2007!

We’re celebrating 40 wonderful years! The College of Health Sciences started out as the College of Allied Health Professions in 1966. We were the first of our kind in Kentucky and only one of 12 in the nation. Dr. Joseph Hamburg assumed

the deanship with three bachelor degree programs including medical technology and physical therapy. A snapshot taken twenty years later, in 1986 showed a college that was housed in several makeshift facilities and offered two master’s degree programs, five bachelor’s degree programs, and one certificate program. However, the dean at that time, Dr. Thomas Robinson had a vision for the college – that it become a national leader in graduate education in a state-of-the-art facility. Over the next 20 years, new programs were added, programs were expanded to include master’s and doctoral programs and we were successful in securing a wonderful new building in 2002.

We at the University of Kentucky College of Health Sciences are interested in you, our alumni. Not only do we want to keep you up-to-date on the College throughout the year, we also want you to keep us informed about what you and your family are doing. Please fill out this form, including information about your family, your address, occupation, class year and degree, as well as other personal and professional information. Additionally, indicate how you would like to receive additional information from the college. This includes occasional newsletters and announcements throughout the year.

Welcome Your New Associate Dean of Research Charlotte A. Peterson, Ph.D., joined the faculty of the University Of Kentucky

College Of Health Sciences as Professor and Associate Dean of Research July 1, 2006. She joins the college after leaving her current position as Professor of Geriatrics

at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Director of the Genomics Facility within the Arkansas Biomedical Research Infrastructure Network, and Director of the University Microarray Core facility.

Her work emphasizes changes that occur with age with the long-term goal of preventing frailty and loss of functional

CheMyong Ko, Ph.D., assistant professor, Division of Clinical Laboratory Sciences, received a $1.2 million NIH grant over

the next five years for his investigation of “Endothelin-2 in Ovarian Follicle Rupture.”

Research Spotlight

In 2004-2005, the researchers in the college

secured $776,009 dollars in external funding. This year,

that number has reached more than

4.4 million.

Today, all college activities are housed under one roof. We now have nine disciplines with programs ranging from bachelor’s to doctoral level. Our students work in clinics, laboratories and classrooms as they prepare to positively impact health care through clinical practice, research, and teaching. Where do we go from here? We have accomplished so much over the last four decades, but we have so much more to do. We are well on our way to ensuring our position as a nationally recognized college of health sciences. As we move forward, our first priority is to maintain the quality of our educational programs. We aim to be nationally recognized for educating front-line entry-level practitioners as well as preparing the academic leaders of tomorrow. We do this by continuing to recruit the highest quality student, hiring excellent faculty, growing programs, and constantly evaluating our programs.

We are also reaching for national prominence in the area of research and have set the record for grant dollars received. In 2004-2005, the researchers in the college secured $776,009 dollars in external funding. This year, that number has reached more than 4.4 million. What is most exciting is

that most of the external funding comes from the National Institute of Health and this funding will allow us to move forward very quickly in the national rankings. Finally, the college will continue to engage our alumni, voluntary faculty, and friends in activities that enhance the allied health professions. These individuals can provide the feedback and assistance needed

to improve the quality of our academic programs, engage in clinical research with our faculty, and help advocate for the disciplines in the college. These efforts will allow us to more positively impact the lives of Kentuckians and to improve health care for all.

2006 PhonathonAugust 31 – September 8, 2006This year’s phonathon is aimed toward raising funds for the Academic Fund for Excellence, a fund that benefits students through scholarships in all disciplines, student research, alumni outreach activities, and more.

Krista K. MacDonald, PA Studies, enjoys traveling internationally, but not just for vacation. She volunteered in Venezuala and has been able to continue her international work at UK through clinical clerkships in Wolverhampton, England and Bomet, Kenya in East Africa. Krista spent 8 weeks at Tenwek Hospital in Bomet doing an obstetrics and gynecology

rotation and studying infectious diseases. While there, Krista was also exposed to Casualty, which is the equivalent to our Emergency Rooms, and she observed orthopedic and gynecology surgeries, assisted in C-sections, and even delivered a baby herself. Professor Sam Powdrill, a faculty member of the UK PA Studies program, came for three weeks to run his annual eye clinics. Krista was able to travel

with Powdrill for one week, screening patients and assisting with eye surgeries. Krista said, “I got a lot of helpful, hands-on training.” After Krista cared for a mother who had been in labor for two days and lost her anacephalic baby, she is even more determined to provide PA services internationally. Krista said, “The trauma that the poor mom went through, and how easily it could have been avoided with some prenatal care and vitamins really brought home the message. These things are so inexpensive and so important, and it makes me want to educate women about the simple things regarding their health.” Krista said, “I feel it’s part of the humanitarian responsibility to help others in the world. It’s necessary.” She finds that International work helps you learn and enriches you. She said, “You’re missing out if you don’t take part in this experience.”

Alumni Hall of Fame InductionThe UK College of Health Sciences will celebrate the induction of two alumni into its Hall of Fame October 13, 2006! Mark your calendars and don’t miss your opportunity to honor these individuals.

Karen Waters Clancy, mba is employed as the Associate Director of the University of Kentucky University Health Service, and she recently became an adjunct instructor

in UK’s College of Public Health. She teaches management and finance courses in the College of Public Health graduate program and works hard at University Health Services to provide innovative, effective, quality services to students, employees, and patients at UK. Karen said, “I have enjoyed helping people improve their lives by helping them to get better access to health care.”

Karen completed her bachelor of science degree in Health Administration, now called Clinical Leadership Management, from UK’s College of Health Sciences in 1991 and her master’s degree in Business Administration from Morehead University. Currently, she is working toward her Ph.D. in Education Policy and Evaluation Studies with a concentration in Higher Education from UK’s College of Education. Karen also has an associate in applied science degree in Medical Laboratory Technology from Somerset Community College. She is a licensed Medical Technologist (MT) and has a Medical Laboratory Technology license (MLT). Karen said, “After working in public health for nine years, I came to the University of Kentucky because I wanted to go into an administration career to make a difference in the health care delivery system.”

Prior to her enrollment at UK, Karen was a medical technologist at the Lake Cumberland District Health Department and at the University of Kentucky Hospital. After graduation, Karen continued to work at the University of Kentucky in many roles, including Director of the Office of Communications at UK’s Chandler Medical

Center. In 1999, she left the university and served as Director of Consulting and the Center of Learning at Cardinal Hill Rehabilitation Hospital until 2002. She then returned to UK as the administrator of the Lucille Parker Markey Cancer Center. Karen said, “I left for three years, but I missed the University so I came back. I have a passion for UK – it’s my home.” In 2004, she became the Associate Director of University Health Service.

Karen is truly honored to be chosen by her peers as a Hall of Fame inductee. She said, “Education and a positive support network truly make the difference in a person’s quality of life. The faculty and staff at the college provide valuable student support and excellence in education, and I am privileged to have had the opportunity to earn my undergraduate degree there.”

Donna Horn, ph.D., mS, CCC-SLp started a private practice 27 years ago while working on her Ph.D., and it has grown into a thriving practice meeting the needs

of individuals across Kentucky. The practice is a multidisciplinary rehabilitation facility made up of 45 physical therapists, occupational therapists, social workers, case managers, developmental interventionists, and speech language pathologists working with all individuals, from birth to geriatrics. Donna said, “Private practice allows me to see clients, which I love, and do research in a setting with wonderful people I can refer to.”

Donna earned her first master’s degree in Communication Disorders from UK’s College of Education. After working 2 years in Cincinnati at Mercy Hospital, she returned to UK to get her masters degree in psychology. She went on to earn her Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology, focusing on cognitive/developmental psychology.

Donna found speech language pathology to be particularly interesting because of its problem solving approach. She is energized by the challenges of understanding the

many facets of each client she works with.

Donna said, “Today, I continue to enjoy learning in my own area of interest, which is language and reading.” She said, “That evolving and rapidly changing base of knowledge is exciting and invigorating and keeps me reading on a daily basis.”

Clinical research has continued to be of great interest to Donna. Currently, she is working with middle school, high school, and college students to look at literacy from a balanced multifaceted approach. This research combines strategies with curricular demands in order to examine development in the areas of vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Ultimately, Donna enjoys the balance she is able to maintain between clinical, research, and managerial work. She said, “I can’t ever imagine giving up the clinical work though.”

Signifying her excellent contributions to the area of speech language pathology, Donna has received the Clinical Achievement Award from the Kentucky Speech-Language- and Hearing Association. Donna is flattered to be chosen as a Hall of Fame inductee. She said, “I know some of the people chosen before me, and I feel humbled and honored to be included in this group.”

Richard D. Andreatta, Associate Professor, Communication Disorders

At UK, Dr. Andreatta will research basic neural processes involved during speech

production in normal and disordered populations. He previously worked at the University of Georgia as an Assistant Professor teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in speech anatomy, physiology, voice and communication neuroscience.

Joining our Family

Our PT Students Give Back The University of Kentucky Physical Therapy students gave back to the Lexington community and put their education to real use at the 2006 PT Health Fair, held June 15 at the Ballard-Griffith Towers, a residential center for seniors.

This year’s health fair included many activities for the seniors, including screenings, educational tables, and door prize drawings. Kris Kaufman said, “These learning experiences are meaningful to everyone involved, including the students and the resident fair participants. The seniors receive high quality health care evaluations in a pleasant atmosphere from devoted and caring professionals.”

For the PT students, the fair offers an opportunity for skilled interaction, which is crucial in the PT profession. Furthermore, Kaufman said, “Physical therapists hold a unique opportunity to foster a relationship with patients that creates a healthy lifestyle.” The health fair helps UK’s PT students accomplish both of those tasks.

Alumni Hall of Fame InductionThe UK College of Health Sciences will celebrate the induction of two alumni into its Hall of Fame October 13, 2006! Mark your calendars and don’t miss your opportunity to honor these individuals.

Karen Waters Clancy, mba is employed as the Associate Director of the University of Kentucky University Health Service, and she recently became an adjunct instructor

in UK’s College of Public Health. She teaches management and finance courses in the College of Public Health graduate program and works hard at University Health Services to provide innovative, effective, quality services to students, employees, and patients at UK. Karen said, “I have enjoyed helping people improve their lives by helping them to get better access to health care.”

Karen completed her bachelor of science degree in Health Administration, now called Clinical Leadership Management, from UK’s College of Health Sciences in 1991 and her master’s degree in Business Administration from Morehead University. Currently, she is working toward her Ph.D. in Education Policy and Evaluation Studies with a concentration in Higher Education from UK’s College of Education. Karen also has an associate in applied science degree in Medical Laboratory Technology from Somerset Community College. She is a licensed Medical Technologist (MT) and has a Medical Laboratory Technology license (MLT). Karen said, “After working in public health for nine years, I came to the University of Kentucky because I wanted to go into an administration career to make a difference in the health care delivery system.”

Prior to her enrollment at UK, Karen was a medical technologist at the Lake Cumberland District Health Department and at the University of Kentucky Hospital. After graduation, Karen continued to work at the University of Kentucky in many roles, including Director of the Office of Communications at UK’s Chandler Medical

Center. In 1999, she left the university and served as Director of Consulting and the Center of Learning at Cardinal Hill Rehabilitation Hospital until 2002. She then returned to UK as the administrator of the Lucille Parker Markey Cancer Center. Karen said, “I left for three years, but I missed the University so I came back. I have a passion for UK – it’s my home.” In 2004, she became the Associate Director of University Health Service.

Karen is truly honored to be chosen by her peers as a Hall of Fame inductee. She said, “Education and a positive support network truly make the difference in a person’s quality of life. The faculty and staff at the college provide valuable student support and excellence in education, and I am privileged to have had the opportunity to earn my undergraduate degree there.”

Donna Horn, ph.D., mS, CCC-SLp started a private practice 27 years ago while working on her Ph.D., and it has grown into a thriving practice meeting the needs

of individuals across Kentucky. The practice is a multidisciplinary rehabilitation facility made up of 45 physical therapists, occupational therapists, social workers, case managers, developmental interventionists, and speech language pathologists working with all individuals, from birth to geriatrics. Donna said, “Private practice allows me to see clients, which I love, and do research in a setting with wonderful people I can refer to.”

Donna earned her first master’s degree in Communication Disorders from UK’s College of Education. After working 2 years in Cincinnati at Mercy Hospital, she returned to UK to get her masters degree in psychology. She went on to earn her Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology, focusing on cognitive/developmental psychology.

Donna found speech language pathology to be particularly interesting because of its problem solving approach. She is energized by the challenges of understanding the

many facets of each client she works with.

Donna said, “Today, I continue to enjoy learning in my own area of interest, which is language and reading.” She said, “That evolving and rapidly changing base of knowledge is exciting and invigorating and keeps me reading on a daily basis.”

Clinical research has continued to be of great interest to Donna. Currently, she is working with middle school, high school, and college students to look at literacy from a balanced multifaceted approach. This research combines strategies with curricular demands in order to examine development in the areas of vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Ultimately, Donna enjoys the balance she is able to maintain between clinical, research, and managerial work. She said, “I can’t ever imagine giving up the clinical work though.”

Signifying her excellent contributions to the area of speech language pathology, Donna has received the Clinical Achievement Award from the Kentucky Speech-Language- and Hearing Association. Donna is flattered to be chosen as a Hall of Fame inductee. She said, “I know some of the people chosen before me, and I feel humbled and honored to be included in this group.”

Richard D. Andreatta, Associate Professor, Communication Disorders

At UK, Dr. Andreatta will research basic neural processes involved during speech

production in normal and disordered populations. He previously worked at the University of Georgia as an Assistant Professor teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in speech anatomy, physiology, voice and communication neuroscience.

Debra Nickell, Associate Professor, Physcian Assistant

Debra Nickell, MBA, PA-C will be joining the UK Physician Assistant faculty. She is currently

working on a Ph.D. in health communication. Her research interests include pregnancy/STD prevention in adolescents and women’s health education in Afghanistan.

Marilyn E. Underwood, Academic Advisor

Ms. Underwood is our new Academic advisor working with our preproffessional students. Ms.

Underwood most recently came from the Gatton College Undergraduate Advising Center where she worked as an Academic Advisor.

Esther Dupont Versteegden, Associate Professor, Physical Therapy

Dr. Esther Dupont-Versteegden, Ph.D., will be joining the UK PT faculty and is

coming from the Department of Geriatrics at the University of Arkansas. Dr. Dupont currently is funded by the NIH to investigate cellular molecular mechanisms that control skeletal muscle atrophy during aging.

Donna Jones, Staff Support Associate I

Ms. Jones is our new Staff Support Associate I, responsible for providing support in three of our

disciplines, CN, RS, and CLM. Ms. Jones has worked for the College of Health Sciences for the past two years, providing support for the discipline of PA Studies.

Robbin Hickman, Associate Professor, Physical Therapy

Ms. Hickman’s primary responsibilities will be at the Center for Excellence in Rural Health in Hazard. Her teaching focuses on pediatric physical therapy as well as motor control/development. Ms. Hickman’s current research focuses on the relationships between specific ecological variables in children’s natural environments and their developmental outcomes.

Joining our Family

Our PT Students Give Back The University of Kentucky Physical Therapy students gave back to the Lexington community and put their education to real use at the 2006 PT Health Fair, held June 15 at the Ballard-Griffith Towers, a residential center for seniors.

This year’s health fair included many activities for the seniors, including screenings, educational tables, and door prize drawings. Kris Kaufman said, “These learning experiences are meaningful to everyone involved, including the students and the resident fair participants. The seniors receive high quality health care evaluations in a pleasant atmosphere from devoted and caring professionals.”

For the PT students, the fair offers an opportunity for skilled interaction, which is crucial in the PT profession. Furthermore, Kaufman said, “Physical therapists hold a unique opportunity to foster a relationship with patients that creates a healthy lifestyle.” The health fair helps UK’s PT students accomplish both of those tasks.

Your Investment...

Creating Top Health Care Providers

We want to give a huge thanks to Central baptist Hospital for hosting our 2006 Scholarship Dinner. The dinner was a great

success, allowing students the opportunity to be recognized for their achievements and a chance to network with our gracious donors. Mary Katherine Bradley, a communication disorders

student from Hopkinsville, Kentucky, spoke and shared with us at the dinner, “My experiences at the College of Health Sciences have been truly wonderful. A big part of this positive influence has been the faculty and their encouraging support. Looking back on my time here, I have become even more aware that my great experiences were only possible through the Academic Excellence Scholarship. Thank you for investing in students like us.”

You Made it Happen - $6,390 goes Annually to Student Scholarships!

Thank you to all of our alumni and friends who contributed to the Thomas C. robinson graduate fellowship, creating a $142,000 endowment that will provide scholarship funds in a rotating basis among all disciplines of our college.

Students speak at dinner about the impact of scholarships on their lives.

At the College of Health Sciences, we want to begin using e-mail to communicate and connect with you, our alumni, more effectively (and it saves trees too!). Make sure to give us your e-mail address on the form located on the back of this newsletter to receive the

most up-to-date information about your college.

Help us celebrate 40 years of excellence throughout the Academic year of 2006 – 2007!

We’re celebrating 40 wonderful years! The College of Health Sciences started out as the College of Allied Health Professions in 1966. We were the first of our kind in Kentucky and only one of 12 in the nation. Dr. Joseph Hamburg assumed

the deanship with three bachelor degree programs including medical technology and physical therapy. A snapshot taken twenty years later, in 1986 showed a college that was housed in several makeshift facilities and offered two master’s degree programs, five bachelor’s degree programs, and one certificate program. However, the dean at that time, Dr. Thomas Robinson had a vision for the college – that it become a national leader in graduate education in a state-of-the-art facility. Over the next 20 years, new programs were added, programs were expanded to include master’s and doctoral programs and we were successful in securing a wonderful new building in 2002.

We at the University of Kentucky College of Health Sciences are interested in you, our alumni. Not only do we want to keep you up-to-date on the College throughout the year, we also want you to keep us informed about what you and your family are doing. Please fill out this form, including information about your family, your address, occupation, class year and degree, as well as other personal and professional information. Additionally, indicate how you would like to receive additional information from the college. This includes occasional newsletters and announcements throughout the year.

Welcome Your New Associate Dean of Research Charlotte A. Peterson, Ph.D., joined the faculty of the University Of Kentucky

College Of Health Sciences as Professor and Associate Dean of Research July 1, 2006. She joins the college after leaving her current position as Professor of Geriatrics

at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Director of the Genomics Facility within the Arkansas Biomedical Research Infrastructure Network, and Director of the University Microarray Core facility.

Her work emphasizes changes that occur with age with the long-term goal of preventing frailty and loss of functional

CheMyong Ko, Ph.D., assistant professor, Division of Clinical Laboratory Sciences, received a $1.2 million NIH grant over

the next five years for his investigation of “Endothelin-2 in Ovarian Follicle Rupture.”

Research Spotlight

In 2004-2005, the researchers in the college

secured $776,009 dollars in external funding. This year,

that number has reached more than

4.4 million.

Today, all college activities are housed under one roof. We now have nine disciplines with programs ranging from bachelor’s to doctoral level. Our students work in clinics, laboratories and classrooms as they prepare to positively impact health care through clinical practice, research, and teaching. Where do we go from here? We have accomplished so much over the last four decades, but we have so much more to do. We are well on our way to ensuring our position as a nationally recognized college of health sciences. As we move forward, our first priority is to maintain the quality of our educational programs. We aim to be nationally recognized for educating front-line entry-level practitioners as well as preparing the academic leaders of tomorrow. We do this by continuing to recruit the highest quality student, hiring excellent faculty, growing programs, and constantly evaluating our programs.

We are also reaching for national prominence in the area of research and have set the record for grant dollars received. In 2004-2005, the researchers in the college secured $776,009 dollars in external funding. This year, that number has reached more than 4.4 million. What is most exciting is

that most of the external funding comes from the National Institute of Health and this funding will allow us to move forward very quickly in the national rankings. Finally, the college will continue to engage our alumni, voluntary faculty, and friends in activities that enhance the allied health professions. These individuals can provide the feedback and assistance needed

to improve the quality of our academic programs, engage in clinical research with our faculty, and help advocate for the disciplines in the college. These efforts will allow us to more positively impact the lives of Kentuckians and to improve health care for all.
