expresses desire to return as a graduate student Without her guidance, I am not
sure I would be standing where I
am today,” Sin said.
Sin said she attended SHPEP to
increase her knowledge of health
sciences and engage with a cadre
of health professions students,
WesternU faculty and other
prospective medical students. In
doing so she learned about
Interprofessional Education, a
foundational experience for
WesternU students that teaches
them how to work as part of a
cohesive health care team. She
said the interdisciplinary health
care working environment she
was exposed to will strengthen
her character to better serve her
future patients.
WesternU hosted the SHPEP program thanks to a grant from the Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation. WesternU matched funding to cover the cost for students.
SHPEP provided opportunities for rising college sophomores and juniors interested
in medicine and dentistry, optometry, physical therapy, nursing, physician assistant
and other health professions.
“Students of Crystal’s generation are the future of health care,” said WesternU
Associate Vice Provost of Academic Development Elizabeth Rega, PhD. “WesternU
introduced SHPEP Scholars to our very best faculty, who themselves crafted an
intensive, case-based interprofessional program. For most students, this was a
transformative experience.”

A tribute to great teachers from “The Great Teacher Theory” developed by Pat Conroy, The Lords of Discipline, 1980.
“Great teachers had great personalities and the greatest teachers had outrageous personalities. I did not like decorum
or rectitude in a classroom; I preferred a highly oxygenated atmosphere, a climate of intemperance, rhetoric, and
feverish melodrama. And I wanted my teachers to make me smart. A great teacher is my adversary, my conqueror,
commissioned to chastise me. He leaves me tame and grateful for the new language he has purloined from other kings
whose granaries are filled and whose libraries are famous. He tells me that teaching is the art of theft: of knowing what
to steal and from whom. Bad teachers do not touch me; the great ones never leave me.”
