Notre Dame of Maryland University joins other members of the Maryland Independent College and University Association (MICUA) to help more of the state’s community college students earn a four-year liberal arts degree, thanks to an initial $50,000 Teagle Foundation grant awarded to MICUA.
A MICUA Board member since 2014, President Yam previously served as Chair of the Capital Projects Committee and for the past two years as MICUA Secretary - Treasurer.
Dr. Mouratidis, a licensed clinical psychologist and scientist, served the Department of Defense (DoD) by providing clinical services to returning service members from Iraq and Afghanistan. Since joining the NDMU faculty, she has continued to provide voluntary service to the DoD by serving on Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program external advisory boards, and through her appointed service on the Army Science Board since 2012.
Meeting the President’s 70% goal is critical to save lives and help return our campus and our nation to normal. Throughout the pandemic, NDMU prioritized the health and safety of the community and in recent months encouraged all members of our campus community to seek COVID-19 vaccinations.
As the NDMU PA Studies Program Medical Director, Dr. Akintade is responsible for ensuring that the didactic and clinical curricula provide a level of instruction and practical experiences that will support students in becoming practicing Physician Assistants.
Dr. Akintade completed her medical education through Howard University College of Medicine, Washington, DC. She completed an Internal Medicine internship at Howard University Hospital and a residency in General Preventive Medicine and Public Health at the Department of Health in Palm Beach County, FL.
As we look forward to resuming more normal operations at Notre Dame of Maryland University this fall, our plans continue to evolve based on effective public health strategies, including increased vaccination. Given the importance of mass vaccination to protect our community, NDMU will require all students coming or returning to campus this fall to be vaccinated. This includes all residential and commuter students, as well as Elkridge and undergraduate and graduate students participating in required professional program clinicals, practicums, internships.
