We are pleased to announce the establishment of an Alumni Endowment that will provide deserving nursing students much-needed scholarship support.

Alumni Spotlight
Let’s salute Lt. Col. Elizabeth A. Mann-Salinas, Ph.D., R.N., a summer 2011 UTHealth School of Nursing graduate.
Now a nurse scientist in Combat Casualty Care Nursing Research at the Brooke Army Medical Center, Fort Sam Houston, she recently received the 2012 Clinical Research Award from the American Burn Association for her doctoral dissertation research. The award included an engraved medal and a cash honorarium.
She presented “Novel Clinical Parameters to Predict Burn Sepsis Are Superior to American Burn Association Consensus Criteria” at their 44th annual meeting on April 25 in Seattle.
A paper published in the official journal of the Shock Society is the systematic review that Mann-Salinas did for her doctoral candidacy examination:
Mann, Elizabeth A.; Baun, Mara M.; Meininger, Janet C.; Wade, Charles E.: Comparison of mortality associated with sepsis in the burn, trauma, and general intensive care unit patient: a systematic review of the literature. Shock 37(1): 4-16, Jan. 2012.
“The American Burn Association is multidisciplinary, mainly composed of physicians – thus, her award is quite an honor,” said Mara M. Baun, D.N.Sc., coordinator of the Doctor of Philosophy Program and one of three UTHealth faculty co-authors on the paper. “Elizabeth was one of our best students.”
