Rebecca Singer just completed her first year as a Clinical Assistant Professor. However, she has already established her reputation as a highly skilled nurse educator.  She brings over a decade of experience in global health and community partnerships to the classroom. Her international work includes care to survivors of violence, establishing primary health services for displaced persons and refugees, responding to epidemics, and establishing emergency preparedness. She established community based cervical cancer prevention programming in Latin America and East Africa and in the US has served torture survivors, asylum seekers and refugees. Dr. Singer is one of the UIC College of Nursing Faculty who brings nursing students into correctional facilities to engage in health promotion activities with the individuals detained there. She is also part of a team developing an on-line curriculum that will prepare health care workers to provide care within the corrections system. She is endlessly creative and completely dedicated to providing students the highest quality educational experience...She is a superb teacher and a courageous practitioner.
