On December 5, 12 graduate students in Eastern Mennonite University\u2019s MS in Biomedicine program<\/a> defended their original research in a virtual oral presentation. Their work ranged from laboratory experiments with cardiac proteins and African clawed frogs to public health inquiries on and off campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2013, the master\u2019s in biomedicine program has helped graduates prepare for careers as health professionals. The research component is just one unique curricular offering. Students also benefit from a unique approach to cadaver dissection,<\/a> which many alumni say has provided optimal preparation and a strong background for the rigors of medical school. Several articulation agreements with professional health schools<\/a> enhance opportunities to matriculate and continue with career goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each oral defense is evaluated by professors in the MS in biomedicine program, committee members, other faculty and other graduate students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research component brings graduate students into mentoring relationships with faculty, alumni and other professionals across many disciplines. Committee members for this round of research projects included Doug Graber Neufeld,<\/strong> professor of biology; Daniel Showalter,<\/strong> professor of mathematics; Jeff Copeland,<\/strong> professor of biology; Scott Barge,<\/strong> vice president of institutional effectiveness; Kristopher Schmidt, <\/strong>professor of biology; Ryan Thompson, <\/strong>director of the psychology program; and Tara Kishbaugh,<\/strong> director of the biomedicine program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
