Emilynne Buchanan and Tasha Elsemore receive Betty Ford Center Summer Institute for Medical Students Fellowship

Emilynne Buchanan, MS II, and Tasha Elsemore, MS I, were both awarded the Betty Ford Center Summer Institute for Medical Students (SIMS) Fellowship.  SIMS is an experiential learning model.  Buchanan and Elsemore will be participants in a treatment process that facilitates an in-depth, personal and unique learning experience.  Instead of participation in a classroom setting, Buchanan and Elsemore, whose UNECOM sponsor is Marilyn Gugliucci, Ph.D., Department of Geriatric Medicine, will learn by being integrated into the daily lives of either the patients currently in treatment or the participants in the family program of the Center.
