UAB Health Professions 2013
The UAB School of Health Professions has a longstanding tradition of providing excellent professional education in physical and occupational therapy. In recent years, however, an explosion of new research efforts have positioned the school as a national leader in rehabilitation science as well. Propelled by the development of the new Ph.D. program in rehabilitation sciences, the creation of the unique UAB/Lakeshore Foundation Research Collaborative, and the addition of several nationally renowned investigators, SHP continues to expand its research footprint.
| Building for the Future As construction on the Health Professions Building expansion nears completion, faculty and students prepare to get a first glimpse of the new state-of-the-art space. |
Closing the Gaps A new study focuses on reducing disparities in health care by studying nearly 20,000 patient surveys in 66 hopsitals. |
| Removing Barriers A new effort seeks to improve weight and activity of children with Down syndrome by removing common barriers that prohibit a child's level of physical activity. |
Alumni Profiles Johanna Gilstrap, Rodger Brown, Chirapa Raksakorn, Latonya Bufford, Mike Eskridge, and Ethan White relate how SHP experiences helped shape their respective careers. |
