CHS & Southern AHEC Introduce Allied Health Professions to High School Students
Last week, Dean Lori Gonzalez, Dr. Tony English (PT) and Dr. Michelle Butina (MLS) spent some time with high school students visiting campus through Southern AHEC. Here, Dr. English conducts a balance demonstration. We are so glad to partner with AHEC and introduce high school students to allied health professions. Back to TopInterim Dean NamedDr. Sharon Stewart has been named and has agreed to serve as Interim Dean. Effective August 1, Dr. Stewart will begin preparing for the transition.

Back to TopCHS Fall Kick Off 2011 ScheduleThe CHS Fall Kick Off 2011 Schedule is now available. To view, please download the schedule (pdf). Please note, this is an updated schedule and is different from the version posted on 7/22. Back to TopHealth Equity for Regional Outcomes Summit AgendaA tentative agenda for the Health Equity for Regional Outcomes Summit, scheduled for Wednesday, September 21, is now available. Back to TopNew Bio-Statistical Support InformationThe Applied Statistics Lab (ASL) is now available to enhance statistical support for both faculty and students. The ASL will provide researchers with a centralized location to seek advice for planning studies and implementing analysis. One of the advantages of centralized support is that requests requiring less statistical sophistication may be handled by a junior RA and more complicated requests may be triaged to a faculty member with specific expertise. It is likely that Catherine Starnes (now a senior RA) will continue to work on projects for CHS as she did last year. Heather Bush, Ph.D., will continue her supervision of CHS projects and will ensure that the statistical needs of the college are met. Effective immediately, please send all bio-statistical requests directly to Candace Brancato.
