stormed ideas in the areas of falls prevention, health disparities and interprofessional education. The group also generated ideas around creating research opportunities for doctoral students.<\/p>\n

The idea to join in research endeavors came after UNC PT researchers Debbie Thorpe, PT, PhD, and Vicki Mercer, PT, PhD, noted overlaps in the research interests of faculty at the two institutions in the areas of multiple sclerosis, stroke, biomechanical research, and health equity and disparities. Some PTs had already formed research relationships, including Sara Migliarese (WSSU) and Prue Plummer, PhD, PT (UNC), as well as Judy Foxworth, a former UNC doctoral student who now is on faculty at WSSU, and UNC\u2019s Brian Pietrosimone, PhD, ATC. The interest in collaboration also stems from one of the strategic initiatives of the DAHS Research Advisory Committee: namely, to reduce health disparities through connections with minority-serving universities, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities.<\/p>\n

The two groups plan to meet again in the spring \u2013 this time at WSSU\u2019s campus \u2013 as the research wheels continue to turn among meeting participants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
