Marilyn Gugliucci to receive SOME Innovation in Medical Education Award

Marilyn R. Gugliucci, Ph.D., director of geriatrics education and research in the College of Osteopathic Medicine, is being awarded the 2013 Marguerite Elliott Innovation in Clinical Medical Education Award by the national Society of Osteopathic Medical Educators (SOME).

Award winners are selected on merit by peer-review.  Gugliucci is being recognized for her "Learning by Living:  Life Altering Medical Education" Program, a nursing home immersion program that she developed whereby medical students are "admitted" into nursing homes to live the life of an elder resident for two weeks (24 hour a day), complete with a diagnosis and standard procedures of care.

As a recipient of this prestigious award and in recognition of Gugliucci's achievement, she has been invited to present at the 2013 joint American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine/Association of Osteopathic Directors and Medical Educators Annual Meeting April 24-27, 2013, in Baltimore, Maryland, where she will also receive her award.
