Another annual favourite, Beyond First Year, attracted more than 1,000 students to the SUB ballroom to explore\nprogram options available after first year in Science as well as 11 other faculties.

Eight to 15 students who\nare currently in their third or\nfourth year of study are enrolled in\neach ofthe classes.\n\"It was truly a student-generated idea,\" says Neil Guppy, associate\nvice-president, Academic Programs.\nHe says that Vivian Hoffman\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nformer Alma Mater Society president\u00E2\u0080\u0094championed the idea.\n\"The basic idea is to enhance\nstudent-directed learning at ubc,\"\nhe says. \"It is a way for students to\ncome up with topics for study that\nare not part of our curriculum.\"\nGuppy says that while students\nwere free to come up with whatever area of study they wished to pursue, the topics had to be academically sound and each course had to\nhave a faculty member willing to\nsponsor the class.\nBesides helping students develop a course outline, the supervising faculty member attends some\nof the student-run classes and\nmeets individually with students\nto discuss their work and help\nevaluate their assignments.\nThis term, there are four classes\nbeing offered: Film in Post-Colonial Asia; Integrative, Alternative\nand Complementary Medicine;\nManagement of Natural and Hu-\nsee Peer page 2\nTwo chemists win\ntop research prizes\n\"I remember thinking,\n'Why isn't everybody up\nhere',\"says Chemistry\nAssoc.

Assoc.\nProf. John Sherman was awarded\nthe Charles A. McDowell Award\nfor Excellence in Research.\nLooked upon as ubc's premier\nresearch award, the Biely Prize is\ngiven in recognition of a distinguished record of recently\naccomplished published research\nin any discipline.\n\"I have to admit, it was a total\nsurprise,\" says Merer, who has been\nconducting research in the field of\nlaser spectroscopy at ubc since\nthe mid-1970s.\nThe Oxford University-educated\nMerer, who describes his research\nas \"measuring the sizes and shapes\nof small molecules using their interaction with light,\" joined the\nChemistry Dept. in 1968.\nHis current experiments use intense coloured lasers to study free\nradicals\u00E2\u0080\u0094chemical molecules that\ntend to be highly unstable because\nof the presence of unpaired electrons. He recently discovered the\nfamily of the simplest possible or-\nganometallic radicals made up of\njust three atoms: carbon, hydrogen\nand a metal.\nAssoc.

Think again. Today it's about putting the\npatient at the centre of a caregiving team, says Physical\nTherapy head Lesley Bainbridge. Hilary Thomson photo\nby Hilary Thomson stafF writer\nIT WAS A STORY SHE READ aS a\nteenager that inspired the recent\nrecipient of Canada's top honour in\nphysiotherapy to enter the profession.\n\"I had previously considered becoming a librarian or a hairdresser,\"\nsays Lesley Bainbridge, winner of\nthe Enid Graham Lecture Award,\nthe most prestigious award given\nfor national and international\nleadership by the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. \"But when I\nread the story about a physiotherapist who helped a little girl with\ncerebral palsy I was impressed. I\nwanted to make a difference, too.\"\nThat desire to make positive\nchanges still motivates Bainbridge,\nwho heads the division of Physical\nTherapy in the School of Rehabilitation Sciences.\nA past president of both the provincial and national associations\nof physiotherapists, she is known\nto colleagues as \"an ambassador\nfor physiotherapy.\"\nAfter obtaining a Physiotherapy diploma in England, Bainbridge completed a Bachelor of\nScience in Physical Therapy at\nubc. After working as a physiotherapist for about five years, she\ndecided to \"stop squawking about\nwhat was wrong\" and do something about it.\nShe served on the management\nteams of Langley Memorial Hospi-\nl.il and what was then University\nHospital before moving to Holy\nI >imily Hospital, a Vancouver facility that specializes in geriatric\nrehabilitation. There she was\ndirector of physiotherapy before\ntaking the position of vice-president of Rehabilitation Services.\nIn 1994, Bainbridge joined the\nSchool of Rehabilitation Sciences\nwith expertise in administration\nand geriatric care and a growing\ninterest in education as well as\nresearch interests in interprofessional practice and teaching.\n\"I love physiotherapy,\" she says.\n\"But I find it even more rewarding\nwhen I work with other disciplines.\nIt brings a richer perspective to our\nwork whether it is teaching, client\ncare or research.\"\nbainbridge completed a Master\nof Education in Adult Education at\nubc in 1995. She currently chairs the\nInterprofessional Education Committee of the Health and Human\nServices Programs at ubc, which\noriginated in the Office ofthe Co-ordinator of Health Sciences.\n\"We need to teach our students\nto work as a team because this is\nhow health care is practiced today,\"\nshe says.\n\"Turf wars haven't gone away\nbut professions have more to learn\nthan fear from working in consultation.\"\nIn more than 25 years of practice, Bainbridge has seen a shift in\nthe philosophy of care.\nShe characterizes physiotherapy's original approach as a\nmilitaristic one that focused on\nperforming exercises.\nThe developing trend, however,\nis to have the patient at the centre\nof a team of caregivers that also\nmay include occupational therapists, physicians, nurses, and\nspeech language pathologists.\nFACTORS SUCH AS COMMUNITY\ninvolvement in decision-making\nthrough regional health boards, a\ndemand for accountability in practice and a better-informed public\nwith higher expectations of care\ncontribute to the move to client-\nfocused care, she says.\nBainbridge was one of the creators of the Clinical Teaching and\nResearch Unit in the Purdy Pavilion at ubc Hospital.\nThe unit aims to be a model of\ninterprofessionalism and will be\none of the sites for her research\nproject that looks at teaching\nteamwork strategies to students in\nclinical practice.\nThe two-year project sees\nundergraduate students and clinicians participate in team-building\nworkshops to learn strategies and\nskills such as non-confrontational\ndisagreement and defusing conflict. When students move to jobs,\nBainbridge will evaluate the effect\nof team-building skills on practice\neffectiveness.\nIn addition to her commitment\nto client care, she is passionate\nabout teaching and describes it\nas the most satisfying part of her\njob.\n\"Teaching is scholarship,\" says\nBainbridge, a participant in ubc's\nCertificate Program on Teaching\nin Higher Education.\n\"I find a great sense of academic\nachievement in teaching, trying\nnew things and seeing a change in\nstudents' understanding.\"\nShe teaches courses on the psycho-social aspects of disability,\nsocial and professional issues and\nassists with teaching interpersonal\ncommunication in rehabilitation.\nThe hardest part of teaching,\nshe says, is creating curriculum\nthat is both contemporary and fits\nwith future directions.\nSome of those directions may be\nidentified at the first-ever interprofessional rehabilitation national\ncongress, called Tri-Joint Congress\n2000, to be held in Toronto in May.\nBainbridge co-chairs the steering committee for the event which\nshe describes as \"amazing.\"\n\"It's taken years of planning but\nnow there is a real groundswell of\nenthusiasm. The range of topics\noffered at the congress demonstrates the extent of learning\npossible between and among the\nprofessions.\"\nAmong the subjects to be\ncovered are interdisciplinary team-\nbuilding, joint concerns in program\nevaluation, communication with\nclients, and interprofessional education.\nthe intensity of Bainbridge's\nwork life is balanced by the sense\nof peace she gains from her 2.4-\nhectare farm outside Victoria.\nThe weekly commute allows her\nto change gears and once back\nhome she relaxes by caring for the\nfarm's inhabitants\u00E2\u0080\u009414 chickens,\none rooster, four horses, two dogs\nand 13 cats.\nIn the midst of this busy\npersonal and professional life,\nBainbridge has also been able to\nsatisfy two goals she wanted to\nachieve before age 50\u00E2\u0080\u0094seeing Elton John perform live and running\na half marathon.\nSo what is next?\n\"Professionally, there are research and teaching challenges\nand I'm still getting accustomed to\nthe academic environment,\" she\nsays. \"Personally, I'll be running\nmore races and perhaps get a doctoral degree in education.\"\nThe book that inspired Lesley\nBainbridge's professional life was\nclosed long ago. Her own story is far\nfrom over, however, and it would\nappear that the plot thickens."@en . "Periodicals"@en . "Vancouver (B.C.)"@en . "LE3.B8K U2"@en . "LE3_B8K_U2_2000_02_10"@en .
