Rohde earns doctorate in Texas State’s College of Education

From staff reports

San Marcos — Rodney E. Rohde was recently awarded his Ph.D. in the College of Education (Adult Professional Community Education, APCE) from Texas State University.

Dr. Rohde's dissertation was entitled "Methicillin Resistant Stapylococcus aureus (MRSA): Knowledge, Learning, and Adaptation." MRSA is a rapidly growing threat in the realm of antibiotic resistant organisms found in the healthcare arena and general public.

Dr. Rohde's dissertation examined individuals in the general public who have

had MRSA and how they acquire knowledge and learn about their condition.  A theoretical model was constructed from the research study with respect to learning experiences, strategies, and emotions that individuals with MRSA are experiencing.

It is anticipated that this research will be utilized by healthcare, public health, health education and similar organizations to better understand how this public health issue can be addressed.

Dr. Rohde is the son of David and Nelda Rohde, grandson of the late Alvin and Irene Rohde and Edward "Doc" and Nell Brinkley, from Smithville. He graduated with honors from Smithville High School in 1985.  He received his B.S. (microbiology) and M.S. (biology-virology) with honors from Texas State (formerly SWT) in 1990 and 1992, respectively. Dr. Rohde is also certified as a specialist in Virology, specialist in Microbiology, and Molecular Biology/Pathology from the American Society for Clinical Pathologists (ASCP).

Currently, Dr. Rohde and his wife Bonnie and children, Haley and Landry, reside in Kyle. Dr. Rohde is an Associate Professor in the Clinical Laboratory Science Program at Texas State. He is also an Associate Adjunct Professor of Biology at ACC in Austin and has an appointment as a Clinical Assistant Professor with Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, School of Allied Health Sciences, Department of Laboratory Sciences & Primary Care, Clinical Laboratory Science Program.
