U. nursing student gets fellowship
Some lines here please. Some lines in here
"Originally, it was for medical students to get research experience, but the last couple of years they've been trying to entice people in other fields," said Iribarren, who plans eventually to work in international public health with the group, the World Health Organization, NIH or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Iribarren will spend almost a year working with a mentor in the Institute for Clinical Effectiveness and Health Policy in Buenos Aires, Argentina. American fellows are paired with counterparts from other countries, so she'll be teamed with a student from Argentina, although probably not a fellow nurse.
At the institute, she'll be working in the twin areas of mother-and-child health research and health-care policy and research, including health technology assessment and economic evaluations. Both are areas of global concern and dovetail nicely with Iribarren's interest in health as a global issue, according to her mentor in the U. College of Nursing, assistant professor Patricia Pearce.
A field of 170 applicants was winnowed to 40 finalists, who went to the Washington, D.C., for interviews with primary investigators before ranking the sites where they'd like to work. Thirty scholars were awarded the fellowships to 22 international sites.
The only down side, said Iribarren, is that her husband, Steve, will stay in Salt Lake City because of his own work obligations. They're planning visits. Since all the fellows must have at least a year of education left, she'll be back to finish up with she hopes a big project and lots of new knowledge in hand.
