Duke OTD’s Tomeico Faison OTD, OTR/L and Kimberly Hreha, EdD, OTR/L joined colleagues from Duke Eye Center’s Vision Rehabilitation and Performance Division at the International Society of Low Vision Research and Rehabilitation (ISLRR) Conference in Denver, Colorado, held July 24-27.

Corey Simon, DPT, PhD, is a researcher and assistant professor of Orthopedic Surgery. He is on the Center for Geriatric Surgery faculty and is a senior fellow in the Duke Center for the Study of Aging and Human Development. Earlier this year, he was named a UCSF/AGS Tideswell Emerging Leaders in Aging Scholar. Tell us about your work.

Duke Doctor of Physical Therapy faculty members, Amy Pastva, PT, MA, PhD, and Corey Simon, DPT, PhD, have been appointed as members of the Duke Clinical Research Institute (DCRI).  They will serve as faculty in DCRI’s Musculoskeletal and Surgical Sciences (MASS) Therapeutic Area.

Dane Whicker, PhD, has advocated for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex (LGBTQI+) communities since the age of 14. So when we asked him for his spotlight interview how people at Duke could support LGBTQI+ (especially transgender) colleagues, loved ones, and patients at Duke, it’s not surprising that he had plenty to share.
