She holds the title of Professor Emeritus from the Institute. Her research areas include racial and class conflict in the health care workplace, women with HIV/AIDS, and discharge planning, and she is now beginning a new research program looking at how health professionals are taught to teach patients effectively, effectively being the key word.

Fuszard's Innovative Teaching Strategies in Nursing 3rd ed. by Arlene J. Lowenstein and Martha J. Bradshaw (Ed.)
This book is intended as a reference book for teachers and is appropriate for any teacher. The book has seven parts: 1. introduction (effective learning, innovation, critical thinking, creativity, and humor), 2. teaching in structured settings (lecture, problem-based learning, reflective practice, and sensitive subjects), 3. simulation and imagination (role-play, simulation, expressive techniques, debate, and the tree of impact), 4. technology assisted strategies (distance education, electronic communications, and web-based instruction), 5. remote faculty (co-consultant, preceptor, and mentor), 6. clinical teaching (philosophical approaches, refocusing the nursing skills laboratory, low literacy, community based experience, nursing process mapping, and issues in clinical teaching), 7 evaluation (computer-based testing, clinical pathway, and evaluation of learning outcomes). The chapters have section headings, tables, figures, exhibits, examples, resources, conclusions, notes, and suggested readings. This is a valuable teaching resource.
