Three postdoctoral fellows join the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing team this month. The scholars — along with fellow Tara Sharpp, who came to the school in fall 2008 — will develop as independent researchers and bring fresh ideas and energy as the school develops its interdisciplinary research environment.

Two of the three new fellows, Debra Bakerjian and Dian Baker, specialize in health policy and system. The other, Samira Jones, specializes in gerontology.

School officials say that the postdocs help to immediately establish a pipeline for the development of future nursing faculty.
