    “Gaining Real-World Experience,” with CHS alumna Martha Thomas, PT

    After wrapping up a long career, Martha Thomas, PT, looked out into the literature world to find books about her profession. What she found were numerous volumes from a medical perspective. She did not see a straightforward book about what it’s like to be a Physical Therapist. She wanted a volume that explained things like: What is the first day like? What is that first patient experience like? What about the first day of PT school? So, Martha decided to write her own book, using her 40-plus ...

    Try to plan for the unpredictable. Learn about your professors. Expand your network. Never turn down an opportunity.

That was four years ago.This summer, he and the Wildcats achieved something they never had before. Come with us — to Omaha and back — and learn about what it takes to serve, to be an athletic t...

    “Bringing History to Life,” with HHS graduate Cori Simpson

    This spring, Cori Simpson graduated with a degree in Human Health Sciences — and along the way she learned she had an amazing connection to one of the great scandals in our country’s history. During her undergraduate classes, she took a course on Ethics and Healthcare. It was then she learned about the Tuskegee Syphilis study — an inhumane study conducted from 1932 to 1972 that was intended to see the natural history of untreated syphilis in Black men.The doctors implementing the study did no...

    “Order Out of Chaos,” with CHS student, SMRI staffer and International champion speed puzzler Michaela Keener

    Throughout thousands of years of organized competition, one question has always baffled humanity: Is speed puzzling a sport? We get to the bottom of that by asking the College of Health Sciences’ own internationally recognized competitive speed puzzler, RHB student and SMRI staffer Michaela Keener, who last year traveled to Spain to compete in the World Speed Puzzling Championships.But this topic leads us into other conversations as well; for instance, we discuss her groundbreaking equine res...

    “Believing in Yourself … and Doing the Work,” with HHS alumna Emma King

How can someone play a sport as demanding as SEC basketball and also graduate with a degree in the College of Health Sciences?Emma King lets us know. As a fifth-grader, she told her father she would play basketball at UK. And with a family full of healthcare workers, it also made sense that she would explore helping others. She recently graduated, and then she even stayed for ...
