As Director of the ERHD program, it is always rewarding to find out about our ERHD graduates and what they are doing now. A couple of days ago, Shanekia Blackshear Joyner, an ERHD 2014 graduate came to ECU and my office for a visit. She shared with me her latest accomplishments and talked about her experience in her new career.

Shanekia Blackshear Joyner is now a Licensed Practical Nurse at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center – an Army Medical Center in Germany! Yes, I said Germany! She is in the military and an Army specialist who wants to make a difference in the field of nursing, health & medical care but in expanding our Westernized view of the world’s populations.

So please check out our ERHD Facebook page and give a LIKE to our ERHD Graduate who is making and will continue to make her mark in the world! Here are a couple of photos including a Selfie that I took during her visit to my office.

ERHD 2014 Spring Graduates – Announced

As Director of the Ethnic and Rural Health Disparities (ERHD) Graduate Certificate Online Program, it gives me great pleasure to announce our next set of ERHD graduates for Spring 2014. They are:

Shanekia Joyner
Crystal Ellis
Lauren Needell
Carpaccio Owens
Daniel Allen
Ashley Mchaney

Each one of our Spring 2014 graduates have completed or are in the very final stages of completing all of their coursework for the ERHD program. Not surprisingly, each ERHD student has been very impressive in all of their coursework, fieldwork projects/proposals, and online discussion board sessions.

Without a doubt, I am certain that our Spring 2014 ERHD graduates will become our country’s next set of leaders in public health and particularly in all issues related to ethnic and rural health disparities!
