USU professor named 

2010 Putnam Scholar

by Staff Sgt. Matthew Rosine 

The American Academy on 

Communication in Healthcare recently 

named a USU faculty member as the 

recipient of its 2010 Putnam Scholars 

Program Award. 

Janice Hanson, Ph.D., in the Division 

of Pediatrics, Family Medicine, and 

Department of Medicine, is the second 

recipient of the scholarship. 

The scholarship is named after the 

AACH’s co-founder, Samuel Morse 

Putnam, M.D. Putnam was highly 

committed and an advocate for 

education and research in physicianpatient communication. 

“It was my great pleasure to count 

Sam Putnam as a friend and colleague 

for more than 25 years,” said AACH 

president, Norman Jensen, MD, MS. “I 

know Sam would be humbly pleased 

and highly joyful to know that Dr. 

Hanson is the recipient (of this year’s 

award) and would lovingly attend to the 

progress of her work.” 

Hanson will use the scholarship 

to complete a project to equip USU 

faculty to better educate and evaluate 

the communication skills of medical 

students at the University. She is 

using a method known as the Essential Elements of Communication to 

study the development of the communications skills between patients and 

physicians in medical education. This 

method has been used to create consistent and coordinated teaching effort 

across its curriculum. 

Hanson’s interest in healthcare 

communication began while she was 

working on her doctoral dissertation. 

While completing an internship in 

pediatrics, she realized the importance 

of providing supportive communication 

to parents after explaining a child’s test 

result to her distraught father. 

The USU will receive and administer 

the AACH grant for Hanson’s proposed 

study of the medical student’s communications skills through their four 

years of medical school training at the 

University. Hanson hopes to complete 

the project in time for the University’s 

discussion of curriculum reform. 

Along with the scholarship, the 

AACH will provide a mentor for Hanson 

who can help assist her project as 

needed. The Putnam Scholar Program 

also funds mentor visits and attendance 

at the AACH Research and Teaching 

forum scheduled for October 2010. 

“I am delighted that I have been 

selected as a Putnam Scholar. I appreciate the work of the AACH and I am 

looking forward to working with one 

of their senior scholars on my project,” 

said Hanson. “I am especially pleased at 

the timing of this scholars program as it 

may assist in the work of the assessment 

committee for curriculum reform, of 

which I am a member.”

Henry C. Wu Award for 

Excellence in Basic 

Science Research

The Henry C. Wu Award 

for Excellence in Basic Science 

Research is named for Henry 

Wu, Ph.D., who was Professor 

and Chair of the USU Department of Microbiology. 

Dr. Wu came to USU in 1980 

from the University of Connecticut School of Medicine in 

Farmington, Ct. He brought 

with him an internationally 

recognized research program in 

bacterial lipoprotein biosynthesis, 

and an unquenchable enthusiasm for science that was a major 

factor in the recruitment of many 

other faculty to the University. 

Dr. Wu provided advice and 

encouragement to all of his 

colleagues and was an unwavering supporter of doctoral 

programs in the basic sciences. 

Dr. Wu died in 1996. The 

Award was established in his 

memory in 2003. Past winners 

of the Wu Award include Drs. 

Ignacio Provencio, Michael Daly, 

Anthony Maurelli, Teresa Dunn, 

Chou-Zen Giam, Christopher 

Broder and Alison O’Brien.

Dr. Ann Jerse named 

2010 Wu Award recipient

by Sharon Willis

Ann E. Jerse, Ph.D., Professor of 

Microbiology and Immunology at 

USU, was selected as the recipient 

of the 2010 Henry C. Wu Award for 

Excellence in Basic Research. 

Dr. Jerse was nominated for the Award 

based on her 2007 publication in the 

Journal of Infectious Diseases (Vol 196, 

Issue 12, pp. 1804-12, 2007), “Regulation of the MtrC·MtrD·MtrE efflux·pump 

system modulates the in vivo fitness of 

Neisseria gonorrhoeae” (D.M. Warner, 

J.P. Foister, W.M. Shafer and A. E. Jerse). 

Dr. Jerse has become the world’s 

foremost researcher in the use of animal 

models to study N. gonorrhoeae. She 

pioneered and developed the murine 

system for the study of gonorrhea; 

it currently remains the only in vivo 

model available for study of this important human pathogen. It is also the only 

model (animal or human) available for 

the study of gonorrhea in females; male 

volunteers have been used to study the 

early steps of gonoccocal infection in 

men. Such studies in women are considered unethical because of the potential 

for this microbe to cause pelvic inflammatory disease. 

In this paradigm-shifting study, 

Dr. Jerse and her colleagues showed 

that acquisition of specific antibiotic 

resistance mutations in pathogenic N. 

gonorrhoeae result in increased in vivo 

fitness of this agent within the murine 

female genital tract. These influential observations provide significant 

insights into the evolutionary fitness 

and role of efflux system in virulence of 

the pathogenic N. gonorrhoeae, as well 

as other efflux system-encoding bacteria that cause human disease. 

In the infectious diseases field, physicians absolutely depend on the utilization of antibiotics to treat every known 

bacterial infection. However, the usefulness of antibiotic therapy as a whole has 

been declining for decades as virtually 

all bacterial pathogens have developed 

antibiotic resistance to many first- and 

second-line antibiotic therapies. Thus, 

a greater understanding of mechanisms 

of antibiotic resistance and the overall 

evolutionary process that drives acquisition of antibiotic resistance as a whole 

is crucial to developing novel therapies. 

In general, acquisition of antibiotic 

resistance is accompanied by a biological cost that is usually measured as a 

reduced in vitro growth rate of resistant 

bacteria. Therefore, bacteria experience 

evolutionary pressure between growth 

and survival in the face of antibiotic 

treatment. Consequently, a generally 

held concept is that antibiotic resistance 

will not be maintained in the absence of 

selective pressure (e.g., indiscriminate 

antibiotic use). 

However, Dr. Jerse’s work shows that 

this long-held belief is clearly incorrect. 

Gonorrhea ranks second in incidence 

among all CDC reportable infections, 

and an estimated 67 million cases occur 

annually worldwide. The Mtr system 

encodes a multi-drug efflux pump that 

is similar to those found in numerous 

other pathogens, and mutations in the 

regulatory circuit that control the pump 

result in strains of N. gonorrhoeae that 

show increased antibiotic resistance. 

Importantly, strains carrying these 

mutations are readily isolated from

USU Brigade writing women into history

by MC1 Chad Hallford

March is Women’s History Month: 

“Writing Women Back into History.” 

And for the first time in USU’s history, 

seven of the leadership positions 

within the University brigade chain 

of command, a traditionally maledominated structure, are simultaneously being held by women.

 “It is a unique situation. Certainly 

the first time we have had seven women 

filling all of these positions of leadership 

at the same time within the brigade,” 

said USU Brigade Commander Navy 

Capt. (Dr.) Tanis Batsel Stewart (SoM 

‘93, MPH ‘00). “To me it reflects, since 

men have been filling these positions, 

an example of and recognition of 

leadership qualities across the board. It 

shows the opportunities for each of us 

to reach leadership positions.”

As a reflection of quality leadership, 

these commanders are influencing 

the next wave of military health care 

providers. But, being “a woman” won’t 

be their legacy in the USU annals. 

“I don’t want people to look at our 

leadership and assume we’ll be more or 

less objective, better or worse leaders 

simply because we’re women,” said 

Navy Cmdr. (Dr.) Patricia McKay, 

(SoM ’93) Commandant, School of 

Medicine. “Being male or female isn’t 

what makes you good or right for a 

position. We’re simply the right leaders 

for the right time.” 

This USU leadership team has a 

vast array of experiences to draw 

successes and lessons learned, which 

have cultivated them to be the leaders 

they are today.

“I had the benefit of being stationed 

next door with the Department of 

Military and Emergency Medicine, 

where I had the experience of working 

with medical school students in a 

different setting,” said Navy Cmdr. 

René Hernández, PhD., Navy 

Company Commander. 

“As a course director, involved with 

research, I have participated in many 

Operations Bushmaster and Kerkesner, 

having in-depth involvement and 

interaction with the students.”

Hernández attributes these experiences with helping to prepare her for the 

responsibilities of her current charge. 

But, Hernández is just one of the service 

company commanders who, as a group, 

bring a full palette of career experiences 

to the USU leadership.

“As my first company command, I 

feel I have been built for this, beginning as a young second lieutenant to 

this position,” said Army Capt. Cynthia 

Billie, Army Company Commander. “I 

believe I have the needed knowledge, 

and it was the next step in my career. 

Interacting with the medical students 

on a day-to-day basis and seeing them 

develop and mature as leaders is a 

process I look for in them. When I see 

them approaching me with ideas of 

their own, especially the ones without 

prior military service, it’s extremely 

rewarding to see this growth and to 

eventually see them graduate.” 

It is the success of USU’s students 

that guides these leaders to operate 

beyond their service-specific requirements. This task is sometimes even 

more difficult as these leadership 

positions can go vacant for extended 

periods due to lack of an available 

candidate or due to an unforeseen 

deployment. 

“Generally what happens is the 

company commanders work very well 

together; we cross-cover for each other,” 

said Air Force Lt. Col. Sarah-Ann Beal, 

Air Force Company Commander. “For 

example, I was deployed to Iraq for five 

to six months, and during that time the 

Army and Navy commanders covered 

for me. Because our military mission is 

much the same regardless of service, we 

pretty much know each other’s philosophies regarding handling common 

situations. But if there was a problem, 

they could go to my first sergeant to 

gain guidance. It’s a true joint service 

operation in our office.” 

The University’s female leadership 

goes beyond just the Department of 

Defense (DoD). It also includes the 

Public Health Service (PHS). 

“(PHS students) learn the DoD way,” 

said PHS Capt. (Dr.) Mary Porvaznik, 

(SoM ’92), PHS senior advisor. “But 

there was a void in the PHS students’ 

development. They weren’t prepared 

for the difference in Public Health 

Service’s culture, areas of operation and mission compared to their 

military counterparts.” 

Porvaznik, who like Batsel Stewart 

and McKay has returned to USU in a 

position of leadership, became the PHS 

senior advisor after it went vacant for 

nearly a decade. She sees her primary 

role as lead mentor for the corps of 

young PHS officers at USU who can 

help ensure any void in training is filled 

early in each of her students’ careers.

“We have strength throughout our 

Brigade, beyond the top leadership, 

from women and men alike,” said

array of experiences that have directed the seven to leadership positions.

humans. Given the biological cost that 

typically accompanies most antibiotic 

resistance mutations, the reasons these 

mutations occur and are propagated in 

nature are poorly understood. Dr. Jerse’s 

laboratory has provided, for the first 

time, crucial evidence that mutations 

in the MtrR efflux-pump regulatory 

system in N. gonorrrhoeae result in 

enhanced in vivo fitness during host 

colonization. This discovery is in stark 

contrast to observations in numerous 

other systems and represents a novel 

paradigm for the evolution of antibiotic 

resistance. These findings will likely 

have an even broader impact beyond 

the pathogenic Neisseria and may be 

relevant for many other pathogens that 

carry multi-drug efflux pumps. The 

applicability of these concepts to other 

multi-drug resistant bacterial pathogens 

is now under investigation.

Clearly these findings represent 

a seminal contribution to the broad 

field of microbial pathogenesis, and 

more specifically, the evolution of 

antibiotic resistance.

Dr. Jerse’s commitment to science, 

research and education is evident. She 

has made significant contributions to 

USU throughout her career, among them 

her many years of service on the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), of which she is currently 

Vice Chair. Dr. Jerse also serves on the 

Committee for Advancement, Promotions, and Tenure (CAPT) and has been 

very active in the training of graduate students and numerous Infectious 

Disease Fellows. She has sponsored and 

Snakes slither into USU 

by Staff Sgt. Matthew Rosine 

A special guest and several of his 

closest venomous “friends” slithered 

their way into the Sanford Auditorium 

recently to help instruct USU faculty, 

staff and students about a unique aspect 

of health care. 

Snake expert Bruce Shwedick, 

presented the “Snakes Alive!” program 

to more than 150 visitors. The program, 

sponsored by the University’s Department of Preventive Medicine Medical 

Zoology Discussion, is an informative 

look at snakes, specifically venomous 

varieties, and how they can impact 

military members and the medical field. 

“For military medical personnel, it 

is very important to be familiar with 

snake bite symptoms in order to deal 

with them,” Shwedick said. “Caregivers 

will need to be medical investigators – 

based on the symptoms, they will have 

to treat their patients accurately.” 

Ceremony honors 

fallen medical 

service members

by Ken Frager

More than 300 people gathered 

at Arlington National Cemetery for 

the Military Health System’s 2010 

Remembrance Ceremony, March 16. 

The ceremony is dedicated to 

fallen military medical personnel. 

This second annual ceremony 

honored 244 medical service 

members – medics, corpsmen, 

nurses and doctors —who died 

in support of Operations Iraqi 

Freedom and Enduring Freedom 

from 2001 through Dec. 31, 2009. 

“Today, we come with a united 

sense of purpose and a common 

bond in that purpose,” said USU 

President Dr. Charles L. Rice, who is 

performing the duties of the assistant 

secretary of defense for health affairs. 

“We come together to remember 

and honor our fallen loved ones; we 

come together to renew our connection with the families and friends that 

share in this loss. We say thank you 

for what you have given, and we say 

thank you for all of which your loved 

ones gave.” 

has also made contributions to science 

as an editor and through her participation in numerous NIH study sections. 

The respect that she engenders within 

the community is clearly evidenced 

by her success at obtaining numerous sources of NIH funding of which 

she serves as Principal Investigator on 

her own grants as well as an essential 

subcontractor for numerous laboratories 

around the country. 

“Dr. Wu was a great leader in the 

Department of Microbiology and 

Immunology,” said Dr. Alison O’Brien, 

Chair of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. “The traits for 

which he is remembered, his ability to 

view a scientific problem and discern 

the vital questions to ask, his personal 

and professional integrity, and his 

devotion to teaching, are traits reflected 

by Dr. Jerse.”

6 The Pulse The Official USU Newsletter

The University Family Health Center, 

or UFHC, strives to give the best 

medical care possible to every eligible 

member of the USU family. 

They accomplish this vital mission 

by providing quality care, informing 

their clientele of current and innovative clinic capabilities and reminding 

patients about “better” health practices. 

“We provide care for students and 

their families, regardless — if they are in 

class, on rotation or in the field,” said Air 

Force Staff Sgt. Christopher Sherman, a 

medical technician for the UFHC. “So, 

the student can focus on their learning 

and know, without worrying, that we 

have their family’s health in mind.”

The clinic offers centralized care and 

handles many specialties within the 

clinic. This allows the clinic to provide a 

full spectrum of care to its patients. 

“(The clinic) is essentially a one-stop 

shop for many medical needs, from 

drawing blood work to filling prescriptions, handling OB/GYN issues and 

practicing sports medicine,” said 

Sherman. “We also have excellent 

pediatrics capabilities and pay particular attention to preventive care.”

While competent and comprehensive care is a concern within the clinic, 

military staff also provide support and 

training during the field exercises, 

Operations Bushmaster and Kerkesner.

“As we reduce on-site staffing by 

two-thirds to help prepare future 

doctors in their real-world medical 

train-up, we adapt and overcome to 

incorporate this capability,” said Air 

Force Staff Sgt. Marisa Burri, assistant 

non-commissioned officer-in-charge of 

the UFHC. “We do this while maintaining the highest level of support, in 

quality and continuum of care within 

the clinic.”

To maintain the quality of health for 

visiting patients and families, the clinic 

insists all visitors observe some “better” 

health guidelines.

“If you have a fever and one other 

of the listed symptoms, please use 

precautions by using a face mask and 

sanitizing your hands before entering

by Staff MC1 Chad Hallford

the clinic,” said Burri. “We often have 

pediatric patients and others in for wellvisits and physicals. This is one simple 

step we can take to help protect our 

visiting population.” 

Other symptoms to be concerned 

about include a cough and a runny nose. 

The clinic also urges students and 

their families to call the clinic before 

coming in so, if there is an exposure 

concern, clinic staff can better prepare 

their patients. Patients can also utilize 

today’s technology to better serve 

them at the clinic. 

“Use your cell phone and take 

a picture of the rash or pock,” said 

Sherman. “Many times we’ll be able to 

determine what may be going on and 

provide better guidance for precautions 

and treatment without the patient 

having to come in to the clinic.”

As part of the clinic’s innovative, 

top-notch health care, the UFHC is able 

to provide accessible health care around 

the clock through a special online 

system. The “Relay Health” system gives 

24/7 access to a patient’s doctor within 

the UFHC. It is also available for doctors 

to answer questions, provide lab results 

and much more. The “Relay Health” 

website is https://www.relayhealth.com. 

“We are still immunizing H1N1, so 

families that are TRICARE-eligible, and 

any active-duty who have unintentionally been missed, please immunize,” 

said Burri. 

The UFHC is among the most 

readily accessible in the National 

Capital Region, with nearly 60 percent 

of appointments seen the same day. 

“If you have an emergency or a sick 

child — come and be seen,” said Burri. 

“Our doctors are some of the best at 

following up with patients and following through with their needs.” 

The UFHC was recently ranked 

number three in patient satisfaction in 

the entire DoD. “That’s a significant 

accomplishment for us and we are very 

proud of our team,” said Navy CAPT 

Kenneth Yew, M.D., director of the 

UFHC. “However, we’re not satisfied 

with being third, so if something doesn’t 

seem right or if patients see ways we can 

improve, please let us know.”

“The military trains both men and 

women to be leaders regardless of gender,” 

said Lt. Col. Wolf. “While I feel very fortunate to have been afforded the opportunity 

to sit at the USU Leadership Table, I don’t 

think of myself as a “woman” at the table, 

but as a military leader at the table. I have 

served in the Army Nurse Corps for nearly 

20 years and have always felt comfortable and confident serving alongside 

members of the opposite gender; every 

leader has specific strengths that they 

bring to a team and those strengths are 

products of experience, not gender.”
