A nursing instructor once told Ann Wolbert Burgess she'd be "good in psych."

That advice led to a master's degree from @MarylandNursing, pioneering work in trauma care and victimology, collaboration with the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit, and inspiration for a character in @netflix's @MINDHUNTER_ https://t.co/TCjxOP9Bo8

Less than 24 hours before the first day of school in Baltimore, families at the Fifth Annual Back-to-School Bash received not only free supplies, but support that hopefully can carry them throughout the year.

In partnership with Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Upton, the @mdsocialwork Center for Restorative Change co-hosted dozens of families on Sunday, Aug. 23, distributing school uniforms, backpacks, colored pencils, free food, and more. https://t.co/KbhVTORPZS

Thirty-five years ago, Philip A. Mackowiak, MD, MBA, traveled to Kuwait with the “Kuwait 38,” expecting to provide medical aid after Desert Storm.

What the Maryland team found instead was a country confronting the devastation — and complicated aftermath — of war.

Mackowiak looks back on the mission in his own words: https://t.co/EzZlvARcwd

One of the most memorable characters from Field of Dreams was inspired by a @UMmedschool student. Archibald “Moonlight” Graham traded a brief Major League career for a lifetime in medicine, caring for families and advancing pediatric research.

Should law schools ban AI?

In a new Jurist News essay, @UMDLaw professor Donald B. Tobin and student Samuel Irwin argue that future lawyers need to learn how to critically evaluate AI-generated work, not avoid it altogether. https://t.co/qEoJsNqcdr

Recently, I had the honor of joining University System of Maryland and USM institution leaders in speaking with members of Maryland’s Congressional Delegation about pressing issues impacting higher education — in particular, research institutions.

[University of Maryland, Baltimore @UMBaltimore]

Wildfire smoke isn't just an environmental issue. It's a health care issue.

New research from @umsop's Zafar Zafari, PhD, found a 6-day wildfire smoke event in 2023 was associated with a ~20% increase in cardiopulmonary hospital events and an estimated $2.4M in hospital and societal costs.

The study suggests that proactive outreach and N95 masks for high-risk patients could save Maryland up to $1.5M. https://t.co/O30OKBCd8g

Universities don’t just impart knowledge. They also help communities—and our nation—meet some of their greatest challenges.

For children with severe autism, intellectual developmental disabilities, and complex genetic syndromes, a trip to the dentist can be an ordeal that most dental offices are not equipped to handle. A partnership between @UMDentistry and Kennedy Krieger Institute is filling the gap.

For some @MarylandNursing students, ROTC provides a pathway to earning a BSN, receiving a military commission, and pursuing a career in the U.S. Army. Military nursing has been part of UMSON’s story since its inception.
