The Year in Review
The MGH Institute begins its 35th Anniversary year commemoration with
1,111 students and 423 graduates—both school records.
The MGH Institute began a year-long recognition
of its 35th year of existence during the 2011–
2012 year, commemorating the school’s March 18,
1977 birth date. Several of the school’s former
leaders attended 2012 Commencement, where
a new 35th Anniversary logo was unveiled, while
a number of events have been planned for the
2012–2013 year. Next year’s Annual Report will
commemorate the school’s history, which continues
to exceed its founders’ expectations as a graduate
school that educates health care leaders who
significantly impact the delivery of health care
across the country and around the globe.
The Institute graduated the largest class in its
history on May 10 when 423 students became
members of the Class of 2012. Commencement

Officer and Director of the Institute of Health and

Lauren A. Katz CSD ’95, received the Bette Ann
Harris Distinguished Alumni Award.
“The lack of access, in my view, is about the silos
we have created—between rich and poor, black and
white, nurses and doctors, patients and providers.
What is needed to break these silos and to bring the
best of our collective strength, competencies, and
passion is a movement for health as a basic human
right,” Dr. Mukherjee said. “There is no place I know
of that educates health professionals at the graduate
level with more consciousness about the concept of
team than the MGH Institute.”
Responding to the continued nationwide shortage
of health care professionals, the Institute increased
its student population to 1,111 students studying
nursing, physical therapy, communication sciences
and disorders, and medical imaging. That’s an
83 percent increase from the 612 students who
attended the school for the 2005-2006 school year.
Eleven new faculty members were hired at the start
of the academic year to accommodate the growth.

“Working with Gabby was a great experience, and
I was honored to have the opportunity to help her,”
said Dr. Nicholas, an expert in adult neurogenic

A Global Collaboration

participate in the first International
Innovation Project in Helsinki.
“The ability to think in an innovative and entrepreneurial manner is important for health professionals
of the future,” explains Department of Physical
Therapy Clinical Instructor Kelly Macauley, PT, DPT,
GCS, CCS. “New solutions will be needed for
emerging demographic, economic, and organizational challenges.”
Dr. Macauley is the IHP’s faculty representative to
the International Innovation Project, a first-of-itskind program for physical therapy, occupational
therapy, and social work students.
DPT students Vanessa Kennedy (left, in photos),
and Janelle Meyer collaborated with other European
students to help a group of patients who expressed
that they often felt socially isolated and overly
dependent on others. A Facebook page they created,
called the “HelsinkiLinki,” allowed the patients to
communicate and solve critical issues, such as how
to get to school or work independently by using
public transportation instead of relying on others.
“I gained a new perspective as a physical therapist,”
says Kennedy, who graduated in 2012. “I no longer
look at the confines of what a patient can’t do, but
at the creativity of what they can do.”
“Interprofessional programs are always worthwhile,
but this program added the new dimension of international collaboration,” notes Dr. Macauley, who
expects the program to be an annual occurrence.
“It was a unique and valuable learning experience
for our students.”

“We believe the research we perform in this

New Advanced
Practice Degree
Under Consideration
With a clinical doctorate as the preferred professional
practice degree in physical therapy and occupational
therapy, it’s not surprising that leaders in speechlanguage pathology, the third discipline in the rehabilitation sciences triad, are also pondering a similar path.
The Department of Communication Sciences and
Disorders took a leading role in this emerging idea
when more than 75 academics from 50 programs
around the country attended a two-day forum on the
MGH Institute campus in June 2012.
Academic leaders from Boston University, Vanderbilt
University, and the University of Pittsburgh joined
their MGH Institute peers in leading the conference
and bringing together their colleagues from other
schools to consider the creation of a post-professional
Doctor of Speech-Language Pathology for existing
practitioners who hold a master’s degree and certification in speech-language pathology.
