Dr. Jones recently presented “Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) as a Novel Framework for Assessment in Successful Respiratory Therapy Programs” to the 2024 Association of Schools Advancing Health Professions (ASAHP) Annual Conference in Atlanta GA. The presentation outlined 19 characteristics and 8 defining cultural attributes of successful entry to practice respiratory therapy programs. The attributes of socio-academic culture align with core interdisciplinary professional competencies and support SEL as a novel framework to support student success and develop desired professional traits.

I have good news to share with you. Just this morning, Tom Jones defended his doctoral dissertation and was bestowed the honor of Dr. Thomas Jones. I was privileged to be invited to the presentation that concluded just a hour ago and I expressed our congratulations to his Committee members. He did a great job and presented a valuable body of work entitled, A Multiple-Case Inquiry to Identify the Socio-Academic Attributes of Successful Entry-to-Practice Respiratory Therapy Programs.
