She has served 19 years in the Faculty Senate, 10 of those years on the executive committee and one year as president.<\/p>\n<p>She is responsible for compliance and safety issues in anesthesiology and is a member of the UNMC Physicians Compliance Committee and the Reporting Committee for the Nebraska Coalition for Patient Safety. <\/p>\n<p>Her research interests are in quality assurance and patient safety in anesthesia. Her teaching activities include facilitating problem-based learning cases for M1 students and coordinating the weekly mortality and morbidity conferences in the department of anesthesiology.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Newland first came to UNMC in 1962 to finish her medical degree, and, except for one year of residency in Oregon, she&#8217;s been here ever since. She&#8217;s risen through the ranks from instructor in 1968 to full professor in 2001, twice serving as interim chairwoman of the department of anesthesiology in the mid-1990s. <\/p>\n<p>Linda Cunningham, division director of employee relations, organizational development and diversity, said she has worked with Dr. Newland for more than 13 years. &#8220;She has always been a strong faculty supporter and advocate. She taught me a lot about leadership, politics and how to persevere keeping my values and passion intact.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Newland has been
