Philadelphia, PA, May 6, 2011

Drexel University College of Nursing and Health Professions' faculty member, Kristine Mulhorn, PhD, director of the Health Services Administration Program, has been approved for candidacy on the Fulbright Specialists Roster. The Roster is a list of all approved candidates who are eligible to be matched with incoming program requests from overseas academic institutions for Fulbright Specialists.

Qualified United States scholars and professionals apply throughout the calendar year for candidacy on the Fulbright Specialists Roster. Roster applicants recommended by specialist peer review committees and approved by the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board become Roster candidates.

As a candidate, Mulhorn will be considered as a match for program requests abroad that require someone in the same field.

Foreign scholars interested in participating in the program can partner with Mulhorn in applying  for a Fulbright grant to work in her specialty area: addressing the measurement of functioning in the elderly population.
