The Regis

Reflector School of Physical Therapy Newsletter

Summer 2018 Volume 1, Number 1 Dean’s message: Welcome to the inaugural Regis Reflects newsletter from the Regis University School of Physical Therapy! Special thanks to Dr. Ira Gorman and Ms. Gemma Hoeppner for their hard work in the design, authoring, and editing of this issue. Our plan is to provide two newsletters each year for the alumni, clinical educators, and friends of our school. We are doing so to keep in better touch with you, and to keep you informed of the happenings within the school and each of its four programs – the Doctor of Physical Therapy program, the Health & Exercise Science undergraduate program, the Fellowship in Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapy, and the Regis cohort of the Creighton University Occupational Therapy Doctorate program.

As I complete my third year as the school dean, I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with our amazing and committed faculty and staff. I am particularly proud of the hard work of the faculty and staff in creating a future vision of the school. At our school retreat last winter, we developed a new school vision: Our collaborative programs will cultivate individuals who champion optimal health throughout the world by igniting ingenuity in education, scholarship, and sustainable community partnerships. To realize this vision, it truly takes a village, and that village includes our school faculty, staff, students, alumni; the university administration; and the clinical sites across Colorado and the United States that provide clinical experiences for our students. Whether providing clinical support and education in Peru, serving the unsheltered population at Father Woody’s, offering health fairs in Alamosa, or engaging in community based research in rural Colorado, our school focus is on learners becoming leaders and championing optimal health in our world.

Enjoy the stories and pictures in this issue, and we would love to hear from you about personal or professional accomplishments for a future issue! Live the magis!

Creighton-Regis Pathway OTD Class of 2018 Creighton University’s Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) degree program is done in collaboration with Regis University. Initiated in 2015, this unique distance hybrid pathway program serves students who want to complete their occupational therapy education in Denver. This program is associated with Regis’s Rueckert-Hartman College of Health Professions in the School of Physical Therapy.

This unique distance hybrid program offers course lectures online. Students use a variety of technologies to engage in the didactic portions of the learning experience. Adjunct professors and the full-time program coordinator oversee lab clinics on the Regis campus. The goal of the program is to create a learning environment that mirrors what students would experience on Creighton’s campus. Creighton offers three distance pathways in addition to a traditional oncampus format: Alaska, Omaha and Regis.

In March 2018, Dr. Heidi Eigsti PT, DPT, PhD, PCS, Brad Eigsti PT, and Dr. Ann Galloway FNP, PhD supervised 8 students during the first RHCHP inter-professional Global Health Pathway Clinical Immersion Experience. Six DPT students (Becca Brunson, Brett Barnes, Candace Townley, Ashley King, Annika Larson & Taylor Skelton) one FNP student (Meghan Toomey) and one OTD student (Allisha Enck) spent 3 weeks in Huancayo, Peru learning with, from and about the Peruvian people and the healthcare system. The group worked with multiple community partners including Catholic Medical Mission Board (CMMB), an organization that trains health professionals and community healthcare workers, advises parents on child and family health and nutrition, institutes community health surveillance and addresses issues of economic self sufficiency through husbandry programs using locally appropriate livestock. CMMB also includes a community-based therapy program that assists children

with disabilities and their families in the impoverished districts of Chilca and Azapampa. The Regis group participated in shared learning experiences with nursing and PT students at Continental Universidad and practiced along side inter-professional teams in inpatient and outpatient hospital based settings. The team also collaborated with the Peruvian physicians, nurses and physical therapists in providing health screenings and education to persons living in rural communities and to children who have HIV residing in a local orphanage. The immersion experience was an accumulation of practice and reflection of the Jesuit values; persons for and with others, cura personalis and magis.
