SALT LAKE CITY — Two University of Utah students will travel abroad this fall as Fulbright scholars.
Virginia LeBaron, a doctorate student in the U.'s College of Nursing, received a Fulbright-Nehru Grant and will conduct dissertation research in Hyderabad, India.
Her project will explore how nurses caring for patients with advanced cancer cope with limited medical resources while trying to ease pain, according to a university press release.
LeBaron is particularly interested in exploring how "moral distress" may manifest among health care providers in India, an issue defined as knowing what needs to be done to help a patient but being unable to act because of various obstacles.
LeBaron's experience as an oncology and palliative care nurse practitioner, and a volunteer with the International Network for Cancer Treatment and Research, led to her interest in studying the delivery of palliative care in resource-limited settings.
Upon completing her degree, she hopes to secure a post-doctoral position to continue her interest in global cancer control health policy.
Todd McKay is finishing a master’s degree in linguistics at the U. and received an English Teaching Assistantship Fulbright Scholarship. He will be working with students learning English at a school in Bangladesh this fall. His interest comes from having spent time in the country during the 2009 and 2010 Bangla Critical Language Scholarship programs.
His focus will be on helping to bridge gaps between those in the English classroom and the rest of the community.
"Building relationships that endure beyond the classroom is vital for helping achieve the educational goals of Bangladesh," McKay said. "That is complicated by persistent lack of resources, but my aim is to help by creating a set of activities that can accomplish the goal while transcending material limitations."
