McCourtBarbara ’72 andNeal McGettiganUCSF Bornand RaisedIn 1957, Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Marion Kalkman,one <strong>of</strong> the foremost psychiatric nursingeducators <strong>of</strong> her time, approached BettyFuruta (née Sasaki) and <strong>of</strong>fered her agrant to pursue graduate education inpsychiatric nursing. “She told me, ‘Youhave great potential,’” Furuta recalls.“I wanted to know what the catch was.”The catch was that the NationalInstitute <strong>of</strong> Mental Health traineeshipwould pay for Furuta’s education, butrecipients were asked for one year <strong>of</strong>work in the specialty for each yearthe grant was provided. She readilyaccepted. Furuta, who went to graduateschool in the dawn <strong>of</strong> the clinical nursespecialist, would help grow the field <strong>of</strong>psychiatric and mental health nursing.“UCSF is a special place to me,”she says. “For my life in nursing, I wasborn and raised at UCSF. It essentiallydefined my pr<strong>of</strong>essional career.”Furuta received her bachelor’s degreein 1957 and her master’s degree in1959 from UC Berkeley (the awardinggraduate institution was changed in 1960to UCSF). She would serve as an assistantclinical pr<strong>of</strong>essor and a consultantbefore being appointed in 1980 to theOffice <strong>of</strong> Academic Programs ascoordinator <strong>of</strong> student services. Furutaeventually became the assistant dean <strong>of</strong>students and international/special studies.Although she <strong>of</strong>ficially retired fromUCSF in 1994, Furuta spent the next eightyears teaching psychiatric and mentalhealth nursing on the faculty <strong>of</strong> Kawasaki<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Medical Welfare in Japan.“UCSF is a special place to me.For my life in nursing, I was bornand raised at UCSF. It essentiallydefined my pr<strong>of</strong>essional career.”– Betty Furuta ’57“That was also through UCSF, from allthe international contacts I made whilethere,” she states. “It was fortuitousand fabulous.”Now retired for the second time andback in Richmond, Calif., Furuta reflectsupon the direction her life took. “I couldn’thave chosen a better pr<strong>of</strong>ession,” shesays, noting that nursing allowed her theflexibility to be a stay-at-home mom forsix years and raise two sons with herhusband, all the while consulting parttime. To show her appreciation, Furutacontributes regularly to the School <strong>of</strong>Nursing, her $10 check in 1980 growing toDean’s Associates-level giving. “Nursing<strong>of</strong>fered me rewards and options farbeyond anything I could have anticipated.”*deceased<strong>Honor</strong> <strong>Roll</strong> <strong>of</strong> Giving July 1, 2008–June 30, 2009 | 11
