Masterson Creber Serving as Fulbright Specialist in Brazil

Professor Ruth Masterson Creber, PhD, is spending three weeks this month as a Fulbright Specialist at the Federal University of Santa Catarina in Brazil, focusing on health informatics, telehealth, and artificial intelligence (AI) in nursing practice. 

She is collaborating with the university’s Center for Health Sciences, Department of Nursing, and Graduate Program in Health Informatics.  

“My role here is to meet with administrators, professors, and students from across the university, to evaluate the health informatics program, give lectures on telehealth and the application of AI to nursing practice and patients, and to learn from our Brazilian colleagues related to innovation in academic, public, private partnerships in informatics,” Masterson Creber explains. 

The Fulbright Specialist program supports project-based exchanges between U.S. academics and professionals and host institutions around the world.
