Story content
I am an adjust professor at the University of Missouri, Columbia. I use the Daigital Access to Scholarship at Harvard in the Doctorate of Nursing Practice curriculum as a way to increase students' abilities to retrieve complete documents for their scholarly writing. I also work globally in Kenya, Haiti and Uganda. Because of the open access to key articles for maternal child health, care of vulnerable populations and developing nations' health care challenges, your site provides teaching materials and concrete examples to my global health care workers about retrieval for their own writing and research. I am a nurse midwife and family nurse practitioner with 37 years of experience as a health care provider and teacher. My PhD is in health education. Your generous digital sharing allows me to complete full circle what I have taught over my career; for patients and providers, knowledge is power. I have used this current article while teaching a graduate level course on vulnerable populations. I wish the information was not true; this case that will blacken our medical reserach history forever.
