A major priority for my work has focused on building the research capacity in departments and with faculty

and staff under my responsibility. In virtually all circumstances, prior to my involvement, research was limited

or non-existent with these faculty and/or in these departments. To exemplify progress made in these areas, I’ve

provided the table below to illustrate grant funding garnered by faculty and administrators (identified by an

Development of MHSA Internship Program

In 2011, I began leading the Health Policy and Management department’s formal internship program, a 12-week

experience for students finishing their first year of the two-year Master’s of Health Administration (MHSA) degree. Prior

to my involvement, the program did not have a curriculum in place to prepare students for the experience, and no formal

relationships with preceptor sites in the community existed. In the first year, I developed a new curriculum for students

and established formal preceptor sites with the University of Kansas Hospital (KUH), ensuring a high quality experience

for all students. Currently, I am developing more formal internship relationships with several hospitals in the Kansas City

Metropolitan area as well as several health-related industries where students historically are interested in pursuing

internships. A formal alumni mentoring program, which has never existed in the department, is being established as part

Cook Vitae p. 21

of the overall internship learning experience as well.

Development of MHSA Fellowship Program

In 2011, when I began leading the internship program for Health Policy and Management, I also began building

relationships within the Kansas City area to establish formal Fellowship programs for our graduates. While internships

typically occur over the summer between year one and year two of the MHSA curriculum, fellowships are a post-MHSA

experience, typically lasting one to two years. In 2012, I developed a formal fellowship initiative with the KUH for our

graduating students. These are the first fellowships established between the Health Policy and Management department

and the university’s teaching hospital. In addition, I am developing more formal fellowship relationships with hospitals in

the Kansas City Metropolitan area to provide more comprehensive and diverse opportunities for MHSA graduates.

Development of Educational Materials

I created the syllabi and implemented the courses listed below in their entirety. For the first four courses listed, I

approached the department chair requesting to develop the class because I recognized how they could add value to

the curriculum. For the fifth course, I completely revamped the course material to be more in line with

accreditation standards. The final three courses were all new courses, developed based on student need and

feedback. The majority of these courses include online, didactic, and small group learning methodologies to

maximize student learning opportunities.

involved 11 different disciplines and approximately 1,000 training participants. Over the 48-hour training, a

collaborative, multidisciplinary response to a staged disaster/terrorist attack occurred at multiple locations in

Sedgwick County and across the South Central Kansas region. The response triggered “victims” to 20

hospitals across South Central Kansas to test surge capacity and emergency preparedness plans. It also

triggered an epidemiological emergency, testing regional public health response capabilities.

V. SERVICE AND ENGAGED SCHOLARSHIP ACHIEVEMENTS

Summary of Service and Engaged Scholarship Experience and Achievements:

As Associate Vice Chancellor, I oversee KUMC’s community engagement efforts. A description of these

responsibilities is provided below.

Institute for Community Engagement: The Institute for Community Engagement supports engaged

scholarship across KUMC. The Institute collaborates with health care providers, community leaders and like-

minded organizations in every Kansas county and in dozens of other communities throughout the region and

world to improve health. Partnerships and initiatives include:

Educating a diverse health care workforce that helps solve today's health challenges with a team-based

approach

Encouraging future generations to pursue health care careers, by showcasing the exciting opportunities and

rewards of working in the health sector

Expanding access to cutting-edge care close to home through outreach clinics and regional collaborations

of hospitals and health care organizations

Improving access to specialty health care by leveraging technological advances that allow health care

providers to see and monitor patients from a distance

Growing the number of health providers in rural Kansas communities, matching top-notch health care

professionals with innovative rural communities dedicated to positive health outcomes

Providing opportunities for professional growth through continuing education courses, meetings, and

symposia that also encourage collaboration among providers

Enhancing treatment for diseases that substantially affect community health such as diabetes and cancer

Improving quality of life for vulnerable populations through community-based research and community-

driven solutions

As Associate Vice Chancellor of the Institute for Community Engagement, I have formal oversight and direct

budget authority over several departments, listed and summarized below:

Continuing Education: Since 1911, KUMC Continuing Education programs have benefited physicians,

Cook Vitae p. 25

nurses, and allied health professionals from Kansas, the nation, and around the world. Clinical and scientific

conferences and symposia cover the latest advances in research, diagnosis, and treatments in many clinical

areas. University of Kansas Medical Center health professionals stay current by attending departmental grand

rounds. Annually, the CE office helps administer and accredits more than 600 grand-round sessions. All

sessions are open to community health professionals; some are available through electronic media. Eighty-five

percent of our conferences and symposia are accredited for both physicians and nurses, and many are

accredited for other health professionals as well. The CE program at KUMC is nationally accredited by the

Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education and the American Nurses Credentialing Center. It is

the largest provider of continuing medical education in Kansas.

Center for Telemedicine and Telehealth: The University of Kansas Center for Telemedicine and Telehealth

(KUCTT) is a recognized world leader in telehealth services and research. Beginning in 1991 with a single

connection to a community in western Kansas, the Kansas telehealth network now has accessed more than 100

sites throughout the state, has conducted many thousands of clinical consultations for the people of Kansas,

and has hosted hundreds of educational events for health professionals, teachers, students, and the public. The

KUCTT has become an integral piece of several national and international collaborations, which have

demonstrated the significant potential of telehealth technologies to eliminate distance as a barrier to health

care. With more than 24,000 clinical consultations and educational events distributed across numerous allied

health, nursing, and medical specialties, the KUCTT has become one of the oldest and most successful

telehealth programs in the world.

Outreach Aircraft: The University of Kansas Medical Center's Outreach Aircraft provides physicians,

faculty, and other KUMC personnel with opportunities for collaboration on projects to better serve Kansans.

University of Kansas Medical Center entities coordinate with the University Airplane Department, which

schedules university aircraft, state owned aircraft and charter airplanes. The Outreach Aircraft division allows

KUMC professionals a multitude of opportunities for participation in KU-sponsored activities and for

connecting with their counterparts around Kansas. In addition, the aircraft provides rural residents with

increased access to medical care by bringing specialists to various locations statewide. Furthermore, Outreach

Aircraft is a means for providing advanced levels of health care education to rural communities.

Rural Health Education and Services: Rural Health Education and Services was established in 1990 to

address health care needs in rural Kansas. The department administers three programs: the Kansas Bridging

Plan, a loan-forgiveness program for resident physicians; the Kansas Recruitment and Retention Center, a

centralized, statewide program specializing in health care workforce development, retention, and strategic

planning; and the Kansas Locum Tenens, a program that provides temporary coverage for a rural physician's

medical practice. Additional services include Kansas Connections, an online newsletter with a rural Kansas

health care focus; Kansas Career Opportunities, a health care career fair; Marketing Services, quality-oriented,

cost-effective services to handle all marketing needs for rural health care providers; seminars for medical

students; and educational updates for rural communities.

Statewide Area Health Education Centers: The University of Kansas Medical Center Statewide Area Health

Education Centers (AHECs) were founded in 1978, through the combined efforts of the Governor, the State

Legislature, and KUMC, as the primary educational outreach effort of KUMC and the principal means of

decentralizing medical and other health professions education throughout the state. Four centers - in Garden

City, Hays, Kansas City, and Pittsburg - offer programs, continuing education, and services to medicine,

nursing, and allied health students as well as to rural providers.

Each AHEC extends its programs across the state, making programs and services available to citizens, rural

providers, and students. Quality training experiences in community settings away from the academic medical

center expose students to practice opportunities and realities in rural communities, helping to encourage rural

practice choices. The AHECs also address the needs of communities and health professionals by offering

continuing education programs and strengthening collaboration among providers, educational institutions,

Cook Vitae p. 26

hospitals, nursing homes, health organizations, and county extensions.

A brief summary of Institute for Community Engagement initiatives and achievements from 2008-2011

includes:

Enrolling 90,907 health professionals in accredited Continuing Education programs;

Connecting over 18,500 telemedicine participants for clinical, educational, and administrative activities;

Providing over 300 outreach flights for over 6,000 patient consultations in outreach clinics;

Placing dozens of physicians to practice in rural/underserved communities; and

Involving over 2,000 Kansas high school students in health career promotion programs.

Recognition of Scholarship in the Media

My scholarship has been highlighted in the media, including being quoted in US News & World Report,

covered by the Associated Press, and being featured in the Kansas City Star, Kansas City Nursing News,

Topeka Capital-Journal, Lawrence Journal-World, Wichita Eagle, Wichita Business Journal, Disaster News

Network, Focus science magazine, and Pentecostal Messenger. I have also been interviewed on several Kansas

City television stations for a variety of projects. For example, the mass casualty event I led was featured in 107

news stories on local and regional media outlets during the week-long event.

During my time as Director of Telemedicine and Executive Director of the Midwest Cancer Alliance, my

research was featured in media outlets and in national publications on dozens of occasions. For example, the

MCA was highlighted in the NCI Cancer Bulletin on clinical trials:

http://www.cancer.gov/ncicancerbulletin/051810, "Taking Action to Diversify Clinical Cancer Research."

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion

I am currently co-chairing the Diversity, Cultural Competence, and Professionalism Committee, listed in the

next section. This committee is tasked with inventorying existing campus resources, reviewing best practice

models on the national level, and ultimately making recommendations to the Executive Vice Chancellor to

Work with Legislators and Policymakers

I have had the opportunity to interact and work with legislators and policymakers on many occasions. Three

content areas, in particular, include telemedicine, emergency response, and workforce development. These are

briefly described below.

Telemedicine: In regards to telemedicine, I have provided a number of presentations (listed in the next

section) and conducted dozens of demonstrations to illustrate its impact on rural/underserved communities

for legislators and policymakers. One project in particular, TeleKidcare

, was so well received that

Governor Graves cited it in his State of the State address as an intervention to improve the health of

children in the school setting. In subsequent years, the department received $2 million over six years

through an earmark in the state General Use (GU) budget to fund similar projects across the state.

In addition, reimbursement is a significant challenge and barrier for telemedicine. Based on research and

development conducted within the Center for Telemedicine and Telehealth, I was able to acquire $250,000

in one-time funding from the Kansas State Medicaid office to develop and implement reimbursement

policies in Kansas to facilitate the growth and expansion of services across the state.

Emergency Response: Emergency response is a major concern in Kansas. With my research and

expertise in this area, I have been in a position to inform policymakers, specifically in my role as a

member of the Governor’s Kansas Bioterrorism Coordinating Council and as a member of the State

Training Advisory Team. Both committees influence related policy, training, and funding issues that

Cook Vitae p. 29

impact the emergency response capabilities of the state.

Workforce Development: During my tenure at KUMC, I have resided on numerous state and regional

committees designed to enhance the health-related workforce across the state. One example (of many)

relates to work with several primary care task force initiatives. These committees developed strategies and

recommendations that I presented to the Kansas Governor’s office to enhance primary care physician

education and retention. They also provided a framework for medical school expansion within the state of

Kansas – a major KUMC initiative that was implemented in Wichita and Salina in 2011.

International Initiatives

I have been involved with a number of international service and engaged scholarship activities where formal

relationships were developed to cement ongoing collaborations. A brief description of these partnerships is

provided below:

Armenia: This initiative is funded by the State Partnership Program, which is administered by the United

States National Guard Bureau, and links American states with developing countries across the globe. I led

the effort to have a signed Agreement of Cultural, Educational, and Scientific Cooperation to promote

further cooperation between the United States and Armenia, KUMC and Yerevan State Medical

University, in the fields of medicine, peacekeeping, and emergency management activities.

Brazil: From 1998-2000, I led the effort from KUMC to partner with C.E.S.A.R (Recife Center for

Advanced Studies and Systems), a private institution that creates products, services, and companies using

Information Technology and Communication (ITC) in Recife, Brazil to help build their telemedicine

infrastructure and to provide education and medical consultation in the area of infectious disease. My

efforts specifically helped them by lending KUMC’s telemedicine expertise and experience to benefit their

mission.

China: In 1998, I was funded by Butler Manufacturing to conduct a cross-cultural assessment of their

Shanghai-China operations. From this initiative, I was able to develop research that led to my dissertation,

which focused on Chinese organizational commitment in Foreign Invested Enterprises (FIE). Research

involved interviews with 55 CEOs of FIEs based in China.

Saudi Arabia/Easter and African Markets: In 2012, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was

signed between GE Healthcare, (through its registered joint venture GE El Seif Healthcare Arabia in

Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia), and the University of Kansas Medical Center to express a mutual

commitment to establish collaboration for the purposes of delivering products and/or services in select

markets of the Eastern and African Grown Markets (EAGM). I am leading this initiative on behalf of

KUMC. Collaborations are being explored relating to residency training, informatics training, health care

management, radiology, and ICU consultations, to name a few.
