Orientation For Increased Volunteer Effectiveness With Midwives For Haiti, Kelly Toner

The Eleanor Mann School of Nursing Undergraduate Honors Theses

Complications during pregnancy, childbirth, and early infancy claim the lives of millions of mothers and newborn infants across the globe each year. The cause: lack of access to maternal education, medical check-ups, and skilled birth attendants. The unfortunate fact is that death from these complications is largely preventable. Even more astonishingly, maternal infant mortality is only getting worse as time passes. In the country with the highest maternal infant mortality rate in the world, one organization strives to create change from within.

Evaluation Of Knowledge Regarding Diagnostic Strategies For Genetic Diseases In Select Residents, Samantha Penney

Dissertations and Theses (Open Access)

Genetics education for physicians has been a popular publication topic in the United States and in Europe for over 20 years.

We chose to specifically focus on knowledge of the diagnostic applicability of Chromosomal Microarray (CMA) technology in pediatrics because of its recent recommendation by the International Standard …
