We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Sandra Rogers, esteemed Chair of the AANMC Board, who left us in June following an unexpected illness. Dr. Rogers served with unwavering dedication on AANMC’s Board of Directors during the challenging times of the pandemic and our transition back to regular instruction. Her leadership was pivotal in navigating the complexities of educational delivery amidst a global crisis.
The reversal of Roe v. Wade is dangerous and detrimental to patients, providers, and our community at-large. The termination of pregnancy is part of established medical therapeutics, and therapeutically indicated in medical literature. All healthcare providers should follow established medical science regarding autonomous medical decisions and support all pregnant peoples’ safe and timely access to the medical care they need.
The AANMC is extremely saddened to share the news of the passing of Dr. Guru Sandesh Singh Khalsa. Dr. K, as many fondly addressed him, was a pillar of the naturopathic professional and academic communities and widely regarded by so many in the integrative health community. The lives of hundreds of ND graduates in the US and Canada were touched directly and indirectly through his decades of service to the profession.
On behalf of the AANMC Board of Directors, we are pleased to announce that Dr. Melanie Henriksen has been appointed to the position of president of the AANMC Board of Directors. She will assume the role vacated with the retirement of Mr. Harlan Patterson from Bastyr University. Bastyr University will be represented on the AANMC Board by their new president, Dr. Devin Byrd.
Despite the unprecedented pandemic, students, faculty and staff remain committed to learning, building community and helping others achieve better health. Bastyr University is proud to share the following update.
