Reynolds Smith Arneson USD’s School Of Medicine Ranks Nationally VERMILLION — The University of South Dakota Sanford School of Medicine has earned an Achievement Award from the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) for being one of the nation’s top schools in family medicine. According to the AAFP, 15.2 percent of the school’s graduates have entered an ACGME-accredited family medicine residency pro- gram – a statistic that places the Sanford School of Medicine within the top 10 schools in the U.S. for producing family medicine physi- cians. “Family medicine has always been a critically important part of our mission,” said Mary Nettleman, dean of the Sanford School of Medicine. “This award serves as an affirmation of our strong tradi- tion of maintaining the highest quality in family health care throughout the state and beyond.” The Sanford School of medicine was recognized by the AAFP during the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM) Annual Spring Conference held Friday, April 27, in Seattle. For additional information about the STFM Annual Spring Con- ference, visit www.stfm.org/conferences/annual/an/index.cfm. Official: Smoking, Motherhood Don’t Mix PIERRE — Nearly 20 percent of South Dakota mothers smoked during pregnancy in 2010, one of the highest percentages in the na- tion, says a state health official. “It’s important to remember that tobacco use not only harms a woman’s health, it also causes serious health risks for her infants and children,” said Colleen Winter, Director of Health and Medical Services for the Department of Health. Smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke during pregnancy directly increases a child’s risk for such health problems as abnor- mal blood pressure, cleft palates and lips, leukemia, colic, respira- tory disorders and eye problems. Such exposure is also associated with an increased risk of mental retardation, attention deficit disor- der, behavioral problems and other learning and developmental problems. Winter noted that the 2011 South Dakota Governor’s Task Force on Infant Mortality identified decreasing tobacco use, particularly among pregnant women, as a key strategy for bringing down the state’s infant mortality rate. South Dakota infants of mothers who smoke during pregnancy die at a higher rate than infants of moth- ers who do not smoke. The infant mortality rate for infants of mothers who smoke was 10.5 deaths per 1,000 live births, well above the 6.2 per 1,000 rate among infants of non-smoking moth- ers. Moms wanting to quit tobacco can call the South Dakota Quit- Line at 1-866 SD-QUITS (1-866-737-8487) for one-on-one support from trained professionals and access to free cessation medica- tions. Online support is also available at www.SDQuitLine.com. Improving birth outcomes and the health of infants, children and adolescents is a key objective of the department’s Health 2020 Initiative. USD Students Garner Top Research Honors VERMILLION — Students at the University of South Dakota School of Health Sciences have earned high recognition for their re- search efforts. Natasha Fisher, Jessica Graupmann, Lindsey Jones, Alicia Ray, Stephanie Utech and Jenna Visser — all social work majors at USD — were recently announced as winners of the student poster com- petition at the Inaugural Social Work Student Advocacy Research Conference at Dominican College in Orangeburg, N.Y. The confer- ence brought together student-participants from undergraduate and graduate social work programs in three U.S. states and six uni- versities or colleges. “I am very proud of this research team who has now garnered experience presenting at three different conferences,” said Peter Kindle, Ph.D., assistant professor, USD Department of Social Work. “The next generation of social work researchers is gaining momen- tum.” Graupmann and Visser, representing their team, received the first place award for their project, “Career Pathways of BSW Gradu- ates of Rural Social Work Programs.” The project collected informa- tion on alumni from four different schools who had obtained bachelor’s degrees in social work — with a rural emphasis — to de- termine initial employment issues, turnover, work conditions, com- pensation, continuing education and client population served. Their poster discussed implications for sustaining the future of un- dergraduate social work educational programs. KELLY HERTZ/P&D Lewis and Clark Specialty Hospital is celebrating our 10 year anniversary, and the staff gave Sacred Heart Elementary and Missouri Valley Academy students a tour of the facility on Friday, May 12. Keynote speakers and LCSH physicians Dr. Scott Shindler and Dr. Don Swift II. This tour included the surgical center as well as the Imaging Suite. Dr. Swift shared some examples of healthy conditioning and preventive measures to maintain wellbeing. Dr. Shindler talked about expectations when visiting a hospital or a radiology department.

Official: Smoking, Motherhood Don’t MixPIERRE — Nearly 20 percent of South Dakota mothers smoked

during pregnancy in 2010, one of the highest percentages in the na-tion, says a state health official.

“It’s important to remember that tobacco use not only harms awoman’s health, it also causes serious health risks for her infantsand children,” said Colleen Winter, Director of Health and MedicalServices for the Department of Health.

Smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke during pregnancydirectly increases a child’s risk for such health problems as abnor-mal blood pressure, cleft palates and lips, leukemia, colic, respira-tory disorders and eye problems. Such exposure is also associatedwith an increased risk of mental retardation, attention deficit disor-der, behavioral problems and other learning and developmentalproblems.

Winter noted that the 2011 South Dakota Governor’s Task Forceon Infant Mortality identified decreasing tobacco use, particularlyamong pregnant women, as a key strategy for bringing down thestate’s infant mortality rate. South Dakota infants of mothers whosmoke during pregnancy die at a higher rate than infants of moth-ers who do not smoke. The infant mortality rate for infants ofmothers who smoke was 10.5 deaths per 1,000 live births, wellabove the 6.2 per 1,000 rate among infants of non-smoking moth-ers.

Moms wanting to quit tobacco can call the South Dakota Quit-Line at 1-866 SD-QUITS (1-866-737-8487) for one-on-one supportfrom trained professionals and access to free cessation medica-tions. Online support is also available at www.SDQuitLine.com.

Improving birth outcomes and the health of infants, childrenand adolescents is a key objective of the department’s Health 2020Initiative.
