She is one of few nurse researchers to be named to the AASM, a long-standing professional society dedicated to the promotion of excellence in sleep medicine healthcare, education and research.&nbsp;</p> <p>“It is a tremendous honour to be recognized by the AASM and join a cohort of such renowned researchers and clinicians who are focused on improving sleep among various populations,” says Stremler, who is also an adjunct scientist at the Hospital for Sick Children.</p> <p>“As a nurse scientist, this recognition also signals the importance of nursing perspectives in research, and I hope will serve as an inspiration for future nurse leaders who set out to improve patients’ lives through research.”</p> <p>Stremler’s achievement illustrates the impact of nurse scientists and their innovative, solution-driven research, particularly in often overlooked areas such as sleep medicine. Her achievement was celebrated at the SLEEP 2024 annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies in Houston, Texas on June 3.</p> <h3><a href="https://bloomberg.nursing.utoronto.ca/media/in-the-news/robyn-stremler-named-2024-fellow-of-the-american-academy-of-sleep-medicine/">Read more about Robyn Stremler’s research</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Nursing</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Wed, 10 Jul 2024 15:11:28 +0000 rahul.kalvapalle 308435 at Maya Ahia receives Kyriakos (Ken) Alexopoulos Memorial Award for Student Mental Health Research /celebrates/maya-ahia-receives-kyriakos-ken-alexopoulos-memorial-award-student-mental-health <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Maya Ahia receives Kyriakos (Ken) Alexopoulos Memorial Award for Student Mental Health Research</span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-type/community" hreflang="en">Community</a></div> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>rahul.kalvapalle</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2024-05-29T10:15:25-04:00" title="Wednesday, May 29, 2024 - 10:15" class="datetime">Wed, 05/29/2024 - 10:15</time> </span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-people field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-people/students" hreflang="en">Students</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-campus field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-campus/st-george" hreflang="en">St. George</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/inlight-student-mental-health-research-initiative" hreflang="en">Inlight Student Mental Health Research Initiative</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/institutional-strategic-initiatives" hreflang="en">Institutional Strategic Initiatives</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/lawrence-s-bloomberg-faculty-nursing" hreflang="en">Lawrence S.
