September 2019

Debra A. Barrath (MN 2000) grew up in a multiracial neighborhood in Durban, South Africa. Since the age of 12 she’s had a five-year plan and was willing to make big changes and move great distances to realize those goals. At 21 she was accepted by Dalhousie for her Masters’ Degree thanks to scholarship funding through the Southern African Student Education Program (SASEP) so she has always felt that Dalhousie chose her!

It’s been a whirlwind few months for Dr. Ingrid Waldron. The documentary she co-produced with Ellen Page and Ian Daniel based off a book she wrote with the same title, There’s Something in the Water, premiered at Toronto International Film Festival, then had three (originally just one) screenings at the Atlantic International Film Festival.

Dr. Peter Stilwell is a fourth year PhD in Health student, supervised by Dr. Katherine Harman (School of Physiotherapy) and Dr. Brenda Sabo (School of Nursing). He is researching how communication between patients with lower back pain and their clinicians can be improved for better outcomes.

A new video produced by Dal Health and the Dalhousie IPE Coordinating Committee (IPECC) explores IPE and its critical importance in educating health care professionals to learn “about, from and with each other.”

Last fall, Ingrid Waldron noticed something surprising on Twitter. A post using the hashtag for her book, There’s Something in the Water, had received thousands of likes and shares, almost overnight.
