Graduate School news
Doctor of philosophy degree in rehabiliation
science approved
Starting Fall, 2002, the Graduate School, in cooperation with the
School of Allied Health Professions and the Faculty of Religion,
will offer the doctor of philosophy in rehabilitation science.
The degree program by design is inclusive of the many rehabilitation
professions, and offers opportunities for qualified clinical professionals
in allied health to prepare for careers in independent research,
teaching, and administration. The goal of this program is to prepare
graduates who will:
- provide vision and direction for the integration of the rehabilitation
professions;
- commit themselves to whole-person care;
- advance the theory and practice of rehabilitation science through
research; and
- acquire and integrate knowledge related to the social and basic
medical sciences.
Doctoral students will have access to numerous academic, clinical,
and research opportunities with Loma Linda University Adventist
Health Sciences Center.
There are three core areas of study in the doctoral program: rehabilitation
science core (42 quarter units); selectives (36 quarter units);
and research and dissertation (36 quarter units).
Prerequisites for the program are a bachelor’s or master’s
degree in any allied health profession area or discipline related
to rehabilitation science, with a minimum GPA in professional coursework
of 3.0 and current licensure/certification, if applicable, in one
of the rehabilitation science professions. Applications will be
accepted during the Spring, 2002 quarter, with first enrolled students
starting Fall, 2002.
For further information, contact the Graduate School admissions

University announces changes in grants finance
administration
Loma Linda University has appointed J. Patrick Yhip, CPA, as director
of cost accounting. The appointment became effective on January
8. Mr. Yhip formerly served as director of grants management.
In announcing the appointment, Barry L. Taylor, PhD, vice chancellor
for research affairs, said that Mr. Yhip has served grants management
with distinction during the 15 years that he served as director.
During that time, the grant accounts managed by grants management
increased from $5 million to more than $25 million per year.
Dr. Taylor also commended Mr. Yhip for careful oversight of compliance
with federal regulations that govern research.
In this new position as director of cost accounting, Mr. Yhip will
give leadership in policy development for the University’s
reporting obligations to the government. He will continue to review
proposed budgets for grant applications.
In another appointment, John C. Richards was named director of grants
management. This appointment also became effective on January 8.
“We are fortunate to recruit such an experienced grants administrator,”
Dr. Taylor says. “Mr. Richards has more than 24 years experience
in grant and contract financial management at colleges, universities,
hospitals, and nonprofit organizations. This includes nine years
at Loma Linda University.”
Since leaving Loma Linda University several years ago, Mr. Richards
has given leadership in grants management at Emory University, Atlanta,
Georgia; California Institute of Technology, Pasadena; and the Federal
government department of health and human services division of cost
allocation.
Most recently, Mr. Richards has been a consultant to major universities.
Under his direction, the University will increase the services offered
by the office of grants management.
