Pecukonis/Vanidestine/O'Reilly
Meets Saturday & Sunday
Jan. 7th and 8th
9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. each day
The Maternal & Child Health Scholars at the University of Maryland School of Social Work are putting together an interdisciplinary course that will be offered to all students on campus this January. Below is a brief description of the course:
This is a one-credit interdisciplinary course that will include a two-day classroom session and a related community service project to be completed during the spring semester. There are no prerequisites.
The course will explore the complex effects of substance abuse during pregnancy by looking at social determinants of health (e.g. institutional racism, legal implications, and economic disparity), outcomes in maternal health (e.g. mental health issues) and child health (e.g. low birth weight, fetal alcohol syndrome). The potential stigmatization of these populations will also be discussed with an emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration. Speakers from diverse professional backgrounds will address multiple facets of the issue.
This course is open to all students attending professional schools on the UM campus.
Questions about registration can be sent to: jfeli001@umaryland.edu or sierraroach8@gmail.com. |

 School of Nursing Museum
School of Nursing, 2nd floor next to the elevators
The University of Maryland School of Nursing (UMSON) Museum, founded in 1999, is now open after undergoing a major renovation. The museum explores the history of nursing in the U.S. and at UMSON since the School's founding in 1889. The changes to the permanent gallery update the story of nursing to address contemporary developments such as new nursing specialties, contemporary nurse-led research, and the ongoing nursing shortage.
In addition, the two new temporary exhibit spaces ensure that visitors will always be met with dynamic, fresh content. The current rotating exhibit, "Angels of the Battlefield: Nursing during the Civil War," - on display during the 150th anniversary of the start of the conflict - will be open until January 27, 2012. The museum will be closed during the winter break, for a tour Monday - Wednesday contact the Curator. |

Historically, universities have made contributions to their host cities by providing advanced instruction to train professionals, applying research initiatives to address local needs, and developing collegiate public service programs to address community concerns. All of these activities are part of the University of Maryland mission; however, urban universities across the United States are considering other ways in which they may directly intervene to stem the decline of neighborhoods that surround them. Join us as we continue our year-long discussion on Urban Renewal with Ira Harkavy of University of Pennsylvania.A reception will follow the event.
