Biography of ann turkel md

Professional Summary:

In my role of vice president for health science, I am responsible for setting the strategic direction for the University at Buffalo’s five schools of health – the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, the School of Dental Medicine, School of Nursing, School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, School of Public Health and Health Professions — as well as programs among our hospital and clinical affiliates.

The quadruple helix approach speaks to my ongoing experiences at the Jacobs School as its dean: educating the next generation of medical doctors and research scientists, exploring areas of clinically impactful and cutting-edge discovery science, and conducting impactful research, and cultivating relationships through community involvement.

Internationally recognized for my work as a neurologist and research in movement disorders, I have received continuous funding from the National Institutes of Health since 2008, with a special focus on ATP1A3-related diseases, which includes a spectrum of rare neurologic disorders.

I am currently a principal investigator on a unique genetic form of dystonia known as Rapid-onset Dystonia-Parkinsonism (RDP), studies which are ongoing with a team of researchers at UB. Earlier results on this research have been published in numerous academic journals.

I was also lead investigator for the trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine that first demonstrated that botulinum toxin successfully treated wrist and finger spasticity in stroke victims.

Over the course of my three-decade long career, I have led more than 40 clinical trials aimed at developing potential treatments for spasticity after stroke and cervical dystonia, or abnormal, involuntary movements of the neck.

I believe strongly in contributing to the community and currently boards of several prominent professional organizations, including the WNY Women’s Foundation, Great Lakes Hea

Female given name

Anne, alternatively spelled Ann, is a form of the Latin female name Anna. This in turn is a representation of the Hebrew Hannah, which means 'favour' or 'grace'. Related names include Annie.

Anne is sometimes used as a male name in the Netherlands, particularly in the Frisian speaking part (for example, author Anne de Vries). In this incarnation, it is related to Germanic arn-names and means 'eagle'. It has also been used for males in France (Anne de Montmorency) and Scotland (Lord Anne Hamilton).

Abstract

Aim

We aimed to discuss the importance of the integration of nursing theories in advanced nursing to meet future demands.

Background

Nursing studies reporting a lack of professional care have increased in recent years and indicate a global complex socioecological problem. The lack of a clear theoretical understanding in education, research and practice makes Advanced Practice Nursing invisible and vulnerable.

Design

A theoretical paper was selected to stimulate vital reflexion and debate about the importance of theory integration.

Methods

The selection of nursing theories represents the position of some theorists based on our experiences with national and international research and personal leadership in a master's degree program.

Implications for nurses

For nurses to continue to make a difference in the lives of their patients, practitioners, and researchers need to practice and expand theoretical understanding within their fields. This would enable them to be visible and at the forefront of the wider changes in health care owing to their central position and connection to health organizations.

Conclusion

Nursing theories are essential to the continuing evolution of the discipline of nursing. Postgraduate programs in nursing and research must be encouraged to use and further develop nursing theories to facilitate the advancement of nursing care in education, research, and practice.

Keywords: Advanced Practice Nursing, master's degree programs in nursing education, nursing theory
