Dear Students, Faculty, Residents, Staff, Alumni, Board Members and Friends,
Greetings on a beautiful spring morning from Alexandria, VA. Our students have been busy preparing for the final weeks of the semester. It’s an extremely exciting time for our graduates and for students heading out to clinical rotations. In addition to this, here are other items of interest:
DR. APPEL RETIRES: Congratulations to Sarah Appel, OD ‘79, Resident ‘81, FAAO, AAO Diplomate, Low Vision Rehabilitation ’90, who officially retired this month as the director of the Pediatric Low Vision Services at The Eye Institute (TEI) and co-director of the Special Populations Assessment and Rehabilitation Center (SPARC) program for children with visual and developmental disorders.

COMMUNITY HEALTH RESEARCH: The University’s first-year didactic Physician Assistant (PA) Studies students recently gathered in a classroom on the Elkins Park campus and presented the results of a semester’s worth of research and development related to vulnerable populations and their health needs for their Community Health course.

ENDING UP IN THE RIGHT PLACE: Although the journey to Salus and the Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) department for Megan Schafer, MS ’20, was a complicated one, she reflects on her experience fondly, confident that she ended up in the right place. Read more about her journey here.
MATCH DAY: The residency class of 2023-2024 is comprised of a highly motivated, diverse group of optometrists hailing from six different optometry schools or colleges with various experiences. Read more here about our annual Match Day.
FINAL THOUGHTS: Every week I suggest everyone get outside, enjoy the outdoors, rest, and recharge. This weekend, I’m taking my own medicine. Enjoy the view and have a great weekend!
-Mike
