NSU Associate Professor Elected as 2014-15 Academic Research Fellow for the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy
Silvia E. Rabionet, Ed.D.
Silvia E. Rabionet, Ed.D., associate professor of socio-behavioral and administrative pharmacy for NSU’s College of Pharmacy, has been selected as a 2014-15 Academic Research Fellow for the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy.
The year-long leadership program is designed to expand the capabilities of established faculty research scientists and administrators to cultivate collaborative team research and graduate education within and across institutions. Specifically, participants will gain experience in research-focused leadership development; team building; and the development of innovative research strategies to secure funding from federal and other public and private sources.
Participants will also gain insight into the dynamics, management, institutional structures and policies that affect research teams; and have the opportunity to network with successful research leaders and advocacy groups. In addition to sessions in residence, fellows will participate in a team-based project development.
Rabionet has engaged in widespread academic research and its relation to teaching; practice; science; and graduate professional education in the health sciences. Rabionet earned her Ed.D. in administration, planning, and social policy in higher education from Harvard University Graduate School of Education. At NSU, she is part of a faculty team responsible for developing a research unit, infrastructure and scholarship in socioeconomic and behavioral factors related to medication access and use. She is currently involved in three areas of scholarship, including HIV/health disparities research development and mentoring; socio-behavioral aspects of pharmacy; and history of the health sciences.
