Crowe Receives a Global Health Fulbright in Latvia

Dr. Terry K. Crowe, occu­pa­tional ther­apy pro­fes­sor in the School of Med­i­cine, has been selected for a Ful­bright Spe­cial­ists project in Global Health. She will work with the Occu­pa­tional Ther­apy (OT) Depart­ment at Riga Stradins Uni­ver­sity in Riga, Latvia, from March 7 to March 31.

Crowe will col­lab­o­rate with the OT fac­ulty to strengthen their cur­ricu­lum, present sev­eral lec­tures to stu­dents, meet with com­mu­nity OTs and present a sem­i­nar for mem­bers of the Asso­ci­a­tion of Occu­pa­tional Ther­a­pists of Latvia. She will also present a keynote address at the Riga Stradins Uni­ver­sity Sci­en­tific Conference.

Crowe is one of more than 400 U.S. fac­ulty and pro­fes­sion­als who will travel inter­na­tion­ally this year through the Ful­bright Spe­cial­ists Pro­gram.
