Defining futures

Touro University Nevada is a not-for-profit, private university, which means private funds are the lifeblood of TUN. Ours is a relatively young institution, which means every gift you make puts you among our founding givers.

In whatever way you choose to extend your generosity, you will be playing a vital role in the future of this institution.

Research Fellowship, spring commencement and more

While many universities slow down as summer approaches, Touro University Nevada is full speed ahead. I recently returned from the 2012 American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine annual meeting in Washington, D.C. where I had the opportunity to meet with Nevada’s congressional delegation along with Dr. Martin Levine, the American Osteopathic Association president.

Back at TUN, we have our monthly seminar series, a Falls management and mobility clinic every second and fourth Wednesday, the Physical Therapy student-run clinic every Wednesday, a visit from Dr. Levine, AOA president, spring commencement and the Occupational Therapy Assistive Technology Fair. That is just April through June.

I am also pleased to announce that we are accepting applications for our first Research Fellowship program for the summer of 2012. It is my hope that students interested in pursuing health care will take advantage of this opportunity to work alongside our faculty and current students. It is important to encourage research early in the education of our future health care providers.

The fellowship program aims to expose students interested in pursuing a career in health care professions to research including biomedical, clinical, epidemiological and educational. The program is open to Nevada undergraduate students enrolled in an accredited college program. The application deadline is April 16, so be sure to take a look at the Fellowship information.

I also hope you will help us celebrate the graduation of our first class of Physical Therapy doctoral students during our spring commencement at 3:00 p.m, May 20 at the Las Vegas Hotel and Casino. They will join graduates of our other programs including Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, Doctor of Nursing Practice, Master of Education, Master of Science in Nursing, Master of Science in Occupational Therapy, Master of Medical Health Sciences and Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
