UMSN Faculty Named Fulbright Scholar

The University of Michigan School of Nursing (UMSN) recently announced Clinical Associate Professor and IHPI member Stephen Strobbe, PhD, RN, PMHCNS-BC, CARN-AP, FIAAN, has been selected for a Fulbright Flex U.S. Scholar grant from the U.S. Department of State. Screening adolescents for substance use will be the focus of the award through collaboration with the University of São Paulo (USP) at Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing in Brazil. 

“Right now we wait until people have lost nearly everything before treatment begins,” explained Dr. Strobbe, who also holds an appointment at U-M’s School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry. “This approach has the potential to prevent many adolescents from developing addictions. For young adults, to not carry that burden through life would be remarkable.”

“Dr. Strobbe is a valued clinical professor and I’m confident he will make great contributions during his Fulbright and as always, makes us proud,” says UMSN Dean Patricia Hurn, PhD, RN. “I look forward to seeing how the collaboration will improve care for adolescents in the U.S. and Brazil.”
