Why did you join Duke AHEAD?
As I said above, I have a strong desire to collaborate with others from the various health disciplines. Our students need to learn ways to work together better so the more we learn, know, and demonstrate ways we can work together, the better chance our students will have to make and keep strong connections with other health care professionals.
What do you hope to get out of Duke AHEAD?
I value the opportunities to collaborate with colleagues from other health disciplines. Duke AHEAD provides avenues to do just that.
What can Duke AHEAD do for you?
Continue to keep me/us informed of opportunities to meet, collaborate with, and develop new opportunities with interprofessional colleagues.
