LIBRARY RECOGNITION
Savvy NSU insiders
who want to access
the latest health infor-
mation know that one
of the best places to

sity’s Alvin Sherman
Library, Research, and
Information Technol-
ogy Center. That’s

man Library houses a collection of more than 300 episodes of NSU’s
internally produced local television health show
Dateline: Health
,
which
is available on DVD to the public as part of
The Lippman Collection
.
Each 30-minute episode, which is hosted by Fred Lippman, R.Ph.,
Ed.D., chancellor of the Health Professions Division (HPD), features
conversations with experts, researchers, and policymakers and
provides the latest information about contemporary health care issues.
Dateline: Health
,
which was created by Dr. Lippman in 1998, is written
and produced within the HPD and filmed within NSU’s Office of Innova-
tion and Information Technology.
In support of NSU’s 2020 vision and core values, and to honor Dr.
Lippman’s service to NSU and the surrounding community, NSU Presi-
dent George Hanbury II, Ph.D., established
The Lippman Collection
in June 2012. Over the past 14 years,
Dateline: Health
has addressed
diverse topics, including equine-assisted family therapy programs
at NSU, various children’s health issues, cardiovascular disease
prevention, geriatric health care, progressive cancer treatments, tooth
reconstruction, nutrition and dietary supplements, and pediatric care.

AHEC Program Hosts National
Health Service Corps Site Visit
On July 24, the college’s Area Health Education Centers
(
AHEC) Program hosted an important site visit featuring repre-
sentatives from the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) and
nearly 40 faculty members from NSU-COM, the Health Profes-
sions Division (HPD), and the Center for Psychological Studies.
As part of NSU’s ongoing effort to promote the placement of
HPD graduates in medically underserved communities, NHSC
representatives had the opportunity to meet with key adminis-
trators and faculty members.
“
Our institution and our AHEC Program have enjoyed a long-
standing history of collaboration with the NHSC, as evidenced
by the great number of our graduates that have benefitted from
its loan repayment and scholarship programs and returned to
practice in medically underserved areas,” said Steven Zucker,
D.M.D., M.Ed., associate dean for community affairs and AHEC
Program director. “The NHSC representatives were awed by
the active involvement of so many of our administrators and
faculty members, the extremely profound insights and input
they received, and the genuine spirit of interprofessional col-
legiality that exists here at NSU’s Health Professions Division.”
