It gives me great pleasure to announce that Dr. Patricia D’Antonio, Chair of the Department of Family and Community Health, and Dr. Julie Fairman, Director of the Bates Center for the Study of the History of Nursing have been elected as Fellows in The College of Physicians of Philadelphia. Drs. D’Antonio and Fairman join the ranks of more than 1,500 Fellows in The College, the country’s oldest professional medical organization. Founded in 1787 by twenty-four physicians, the goal of The College is "to advance the science of medicine and to thereby lessen human misery." Throughout its 200 year history, The College has provided a place for both medical professionals and the general public to learn about medicine as both a science and an art and to work towards better serving the public.
This historic spirit continues in the current mission that is “to advance the cause of health and uphold the ideals and heritage of medicine.” This is done by enabling individuals, families and communities to take greater responsibility for their health; improving the health of the public through service to health professionals; enhancing appreciation of the heritage of medicine; and providing information for the development of health policy.
Dr. D'Antonio's research on nurses as absolutely central to the larger interdisciplinary histories of institutions, clinical practice, health care policy, and women's care work and Dr. Fairman’s research on the history of 20th Century health care and the role of nurse practitioners in the evolution of health care make them both ideal additions to The College. Please join me in congratulating these two historians and scientists on this prestigious appointment to The College of Physicians.

Dr. Margaret Cooney Souders appointed to rank of Assistant Professor of Human Genetics at the School of Nursing
It gives me great pleasure to announce that Margaret Cooney Souders, PhD, CRNP has been appointed to the rank of Assistant Professor of Human Genetics in the Standing Faculty--Clinician-Educator track effective July 1, 2010.
Dr. Souders received her Master’s Degree in Pediatric Acute/Chronic Nursing (in 1996) and her doctorate in Nursing (in 2008) both from the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. Immediately after earning her Ph.D. she entered a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in the Center for Sleep and Respiratory Neurobiology.
Dr. Souders previously held an appointment as the Dysmorphology Supervisor of the SEED CDC Study in the Center for Autism Research at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. She currently serves as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in the Clinical Genetics Center at CHOP and her clinical work informs her research and scholarship.
Her research focuses on describing the determinants of insomnia in children with genetic disorders and in developing targeted interventions to promote sleep in children with autism spectrum disorder.
Dr. Souders has served as Co-Investigator on five grants and is a strong collaborator on a multi-disciplinary team. She published seven data-based articles, two as first author, in high ranking journals in her field. She also has seven abstracts and one recently submitted publication.
Dr. Souders gives highly effective lectures on autism spectrum disorder. The ratings for the quality of her lectures are quite high. With her clinical background as well as her experiences in autism, she has accumulated tremendous clinical exemplars that she uses in connecting theory and research with practice in her teaching. We expect that these experiences will continue to provide context and will enrich her teaching as well as her scholarship.
Please join me in congratulating Dr. Souders on her appointment, welcoming her to our School, and in wishing her a very productive academic career.

Dr. J. Margo Brooks Carthon has been appointed to the rank of Assistant Professor of Nursing at the School of Nursing
It gives me great pleasure to announce that J. Margo Brooks Carthon, PhD, RN has been appointed to the rank of Assistant Professor of Nursing in the Standing Faculty tenure track effective July 1, 2010.
Dr. Carthon received her Master’s Degree in Adult Health/Psychiatric NP in 1998 from the University of Pittsburgh and her doctorate in Nursing in 2008 from the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. Immediately after earning her Ph.D. she entered a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in the Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research in the School of Nursing, which she completed in June 2010.
Dr. Carthon studies the historical context of persistent health disparities among racial and ethnic communities in the United States. This interest helped drive her dissertation topic in which she explored the mechanisms underlying the disproportionate burden of illness in Black Philadelphians during the first 30 years of the 20th century. She also uncovered the collaborative community health initiatives undertaken by local residents, social reformers, and health professionals to address the social and health concerns of Black community members. Her work also includes the investigation of current mechanisms underlying the concerns and the collaborations. Dr. Carthon also has an interest in researching safety net hospitals, which provides healthcare services to low-income, uninsured, and vulnerable patients. She is the first nurse to do so.
Although she's just starting her academic career, Dr. Carthon is PI on a K-award from NINR-NIH and another funded by the Penn Minority Aging Research for Community Health. She also served as PI or Co-Investigator on three previous grants. In addition, she presented her research through peer reviewed conferences for which she received invitations. She also collaborated with a number of renowned scholars within and outside of the University. She published six refereed publication, two as first author and two are in press. She also has one refereed abstract, a book chapter and web review in press.
As a novice teacher, Dr. Carthon has given a few formal lectures in the School and received excellent evaluations. She makes her teaching come alive for students by using exemplars from her clinical experience as a nurse practitioner. We expect that these experiences will continue to provide context and enrich her teaching.

Dr. Kelly Wiltse Nicely Appointed to Rank of Assistant Professor of Nurse Anesthesia at the University of Penn School of Nursing
It gives me great pleasure to announce that Kelly Wiltse Nicely, PhD, CRNA has been appointed to the rank of Assistant Professor of Nurse Anesthesia in the Standing Faculty--Clinician-Educator track effective September 1, 2010.
Dr. Wiltse Nicely received her Master’s degree in Nursing (2005) from the University of Pittsburgh and her doctorate in the Philosophy of Nursing (2010) from the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. She is one of a few nurse anesthetists with the education and experience that equips her to practice, teach in a clinical or classroom environment, conduct progressive research, and take on a leadership role.
Dr. Wiltse Nicely recently completed her dissertation while working 50% as a nurse anesthetist, which speaks toward her capacity and level of productivity. She has served as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist at the Penn Presbyterian Medical Center since 2006, where she works under the tutelage of Dr. Lee Fleisher. In this role she provides comprehensive anesthesia care for both inpatient and outpatient surgery.
Combining a background in both nurse anesthesia practice and nursing research, Dr. Wiltse Nicely, is examining the role of nursing as an underlying causal mechanism explaining the volume-outcomes relationship in high risk surgical procedures. Her research focuses on the importance of optimizing organizational systems of nursing care to improve post-operative surgical outcomes.
Dr. Wiltse Nicely is a co-author on one book and completed a book chapter that is in press. She is currently in the process of preparing several manuscripts based on her dissertation.
She has given effective lectures in many courses ranging from introductory nursing to advanced anesthesia courses. Her clinical background and continued research will enhance our students' learning. She brings great scholarly energy to the specialty of nursing anesthesia and already demonstrated a commitment to our educational mission by volunteering her expertise to the Master's Curriculum Committee as well as to the course directors.
