NETEC wins CDC award for excellence<\/b>
\nThe National Ebola Training and Education Center won the CDC’s NCEZID (National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases) Award for Excellence in Partnering-Domestic. This award recognizes the initiative and effectiveness of programs through establishing and sustaining a strategic partnership with government, private sector, volunteer, or nonprofit organizations.<\/p>\n

John-Martin Lowe, Ph.D., assistant professor, environmental, agricultural & occupational health, one of the people recognized by the CDC, and Ted Cieslak, M.D., associate professor, epidemiology, both in the College of Public Health, are now in Germany touring the German biocontainment units that treated Ebola patients. <\/p>\n

Next week, Dr. Lowe will attend an International Workshop on Viral Hemorrhagic Fever in Berlin. Main topics that will be discussed include lessons learned from Ebola virus disease and emergency preparedness for Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever. The workshop is co-hosted by the Robert Koch Institute, the World Health Organization, and the German Permanent Working Group of Medical Competence and Treatment Centers.<\/p>\n

Medical student honored in poetry competition<\/b>
\nThird-year medical student Catherine Tran recently won second place in the 2016 William Carlos Williams Poetry Competition sponsored by the Northeast Ohio Medical University. <\/p>\n

Her poem, titled “They Buried Him in California,” was one of hundreds of entries selected on the basis of craftsmanship, originality and content. The poem is about illness and death from the perspective of both the patient and the health care provider, Tran said. <\/p>\n

“It explores the process of dying, which can be so lonely and painful for patients and their families, but can become part of the day-to-day for health care providers. I wanted to remind myself how overwhelmed and scared I felt when it was my family member in the hospital.” <\/p>\n

Tran said she writes to bring herself clarity and peace. “Medicine can be incredibly rewarding and difficult, and writing is a way to honor the good and process the bad.”<\/p>\n
