Publications


North Carolina Medical Journal, Vol. 85, Issue 3

In 2018, Meg Zomorodi, PhD, RN, CNL, FAAN (BSN ’01, PhD ’08) served as guest editor for the North Carolina Medical Journal focused on team based care. Interprofessional education and practice has grown exponentially across the state, including the establishment of the “North Carolina Interprofessional Education Leadership Collaborative” (NC IPELC) by NC AHEC that brings together faculty from every health professions school across NC.

The May edition of the North Carolina Medical Journal reflects on the work done since 2018 across the state and offers the ‘state of the state’ of team based care in NC. Partnering with UNC Alumna Dr. Jill Forcina (BSN ’01, PhD ’08), Director of Education & Nursing for NC AHEC, Dr. Meg Zomorodi brought together many members of the NC IPELC to share best practices, lessons learned, and implications for policy. Associate Dean for Strategic Partnerships and Practice, Dr. Lori Byrd is also featured in this edition.

Adaptation to Fatigue and Recovery of Physical Function Among Stroke Survivors

A group of thirteen older adults stand together outdoors on a sunny day, smiling at the camera. They are surrounded by greenery and trees, and some are dressed casually while others wear light jackets.

Chiao-Hsin Teng, a soon-to-graduate PhD student, shared her dissertation findings with NC Lee County Stroke Support Group on May 9, 2024. This was her second time disseminating information about post-stroke fatigue to local stroke survivors, care partners, and healthcare providers. Her dissertation is titled: “Adaptation to Fatigue and Recovery of Physical Function Among Stroke Survivors.”

“I was really fortunate to have this opportunity to talk to my population outside of my research. Sharing the findings not only helps them learn about fatigue after stroke but the conversation with them also deepens my understanding of this population,” Chiao-Hsin said.

Chiao-Hsin will graduate this August and plans to expand her research on post-stroke fatigue when she returns to her home country, Taiwan.
