Kyle Meyer, Ph.D., dean of the College of Allied Health Professions, was recently awarded recognition as a fellow in the Association of Schools of Allied Health Professions (ASAHP).
The ASAHP Fellows Program Award originated in 1981 to provide meaningful recognition to those members who have contributed significantly to allied health as administrators, educators, clinicians or researchers. This program seeks to promote continued excellence within allied health.
Dr. Meyer will be recognized by the ASAHP Board of Directors at the annual meeting of the Association in New Orleans later this month.
“We are pleased to induct Dr. Meyer as an ASAHP Fellow, honoring his significant contribution to postsecondary allied health education, leadership and scholarship,” said ASAHP President Linda Petrosino, Ph.D.
Dr. Meyer was one of four fellows selected nationally this year by the ASAHP Board of Directors. Others included Patricia Chute, Ed.D., from the New York Institute of Technology, New York, N.Y.; Carolyn Giordano, Ph.D., from Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia; and Fred Romano, Ph.D., from Midwestern University, Downers Grove, Ill.
To be eligible for this prestigious recognition, candidates must have been a member of the ASAHP for five years and have been actively involved in an allied health program. They must have demonstrated leadership, published in professional journals and shown professional creativity. Dr. Meyer currently presides as president of the Midwest Deans Association of the ASAHP.
ASAHP was chartered in Washington, D.C. in September 1967 as a not-for-profit national professional association for administrators, educators and others who were concerned with critical issues affecting allied health education.
