Ruiz Acknowledged for Nursing Program in Cuba

A program developed by Maria Elena Ruiz, assistant adjunct professor at the UCLA School of Nursing and former CSRC associate director, was the focus of a January 29 article in UC Health. The program, which Ruiz developed with Adey Nyamathi, associate dean for international research and scholarly activities, affords UCLA nursing students the opportunity to travel to Havana for one week to learn about Cuba’s health care system and how a first-world, prevention-focused primary health care system functions in a third-world economy.
