Two University of Minnesota faculty were recently inducted into the National Academies of Practice (NAP). The prestigious honor acknowledges their outstanding achievements and recognizes them as leaders in their professions.
Keri Hager, PharmD, BCACP, professor, College of Pharmacy, and Sasha Zagoloff, PhD LP, FNAP, associate professor, Medical School, were part of the the Class of 2025 honorees welcomed into the NAP at an awards and induction ceremony in Washington, DC, on March 15.
“It is an honor and privilege to join NAP as a fellow and collaborate with interprofessional colleagues across the country to advocate for affordable, accessible, coordinated quality health care for all,” said Hager.
“I am excited to be inducted into the NAP's Psychology Academy because of its emphasis on effective interprofessional collaboration. I am particularly eager to capitalize on NAP's involvement in national policy initiatives," said Zagoloff.
"Finally, the Psychology Academy is one of the smaller groups, so I look forward to helping it grow given the important role psychologists play in improving and maintaining health."
Inductees into the National Academies of Practice are elected by their peers from multiple different health professions to join the only interprofessional group of health care practitioners and scholars dedicated to supporting affordable, accessible, coordinated quality health care for all.
"The National Academies of Practice brings together practitioners and scholars from 17 different professions around a common mission of advancing interprofessional education, scholarship, research, practice, and public policy. The continued selection of distinguished members from the University of Minnesota recognizes the nation-leading interprofessional work we are doing here," said Brian Sick, MD, MHA, FACP, FNAP, 2021 inductee and past-chair of the NAP Physician Academy.
The central purpose of NAP is to advise governmental bodies on our health care system. It is the only interdisciplinary group of health care practitioners dedicated to these issues.
