Nealis to participate in summer research training program

Rose Nealis, Ph.D., A.R.N.P., a clinical associate professor at the College of Nursing, was invited to participate in the 2005 National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Nursing Research Summer Genetics Institute, designed to provide advanced nurses with a foundation in molecular genetics for clinical practice and the research laboratory.

Nealis will participate in the two-month summer research training program held on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Md. More than 35 genetics experts from the NIH and universities in the Washington, D.C. area serve as course faculty for the institute, which includes a select group of nursing students and faculty, most of them either doctorally prepared faculty or Ph.D. students. Graduates will receive 12 hours of doctoral level graduate credit from the Georgetown University School of Nursing and Health Studies.
