The RTS 45th Anniversary Perinatal Bereavement Conference is this Thursday! Join us as we continue highlighting our expert presenters and their topics.
Today, hear from RTS co-founder and Director Emerita Dr. Rana Limbo. She and Dr. Deb Rich are the keynote speakers for the event. Their presentation "Guided Participation for Clinical Practice" provides practical examples of how to engage in bereavement-themed teaching and learning episodes that highlight a partnership between teacher (guide) and learner.
Dr. Limbo was selected as a Fellow in the American Academy of Nursing in 2012. The FAAN credential is the highest honor (except Living Legend from the same organization) that a nurse can receive. She was the first perinatal bereavement coordinator and first national faculty for RTS (with Sara Wheeler). As a clinician, researcher, and academic, she has won numerous awards, co-edited six books, given innumerable talks, and published numerous research and clinical articles in referred journals and textbooks. She is the co-creator of Guided Participation (with Dr. Karen Pridham), a middle-range theory of teaching and learning in a healthcare setting.
Dr. Rich is the Founder and Director of Shoshana Center for Reproductive Health Psychology, Minnesota, USA. With over 40 years of experience, Dr. Rich is recognized as a national and international expert in interdisciplinary patient care, professional training and program development in the specialty fields of pregnancy loss, perinatal mental health, infertility and assisted reproduction. She completed Resolve Through Sharing training and became a coordinator in 1989 and has served on the National Faculty since 2006. Dr. Rich has lectured both nationally and internationally and has published articles in several professional journals.
