UCF Associate Professor Latarsha Chisholm had the chance to travel throughout the nation during her childhood because she was raised in a military family. The experience opened her eyes to the disparities around her and the opportunities to make a difference.<\/p>\n
Chisholm works in UCF\u2019s School of Global Health Management and Informatics in the College of Community Innovation and Education<\/a>. Her research focuses on quality of care, disparities, and the implementation and dissemination of innovations. This includes racial, ethnic and socioeconomic disparities that occur in long-term care settings, such as nursing homes.<\/p>\n The Gainesville, Florida, native says her family and colleagues who are just as passionate about making a difference in the world are a strong source of inspiration.<\/p>\n
