Come to the graduate research symposium hosted in Canyon Commons on Thursday, Dec. 5, from 5 to 7 p.m.
The DMSc (Doctor of Medical Science) program was created in response to an ever-growing demand for healthcare leaders, particularly in rural, traditionally underserved and international locations. Our DMSc students are excited to present their research to you in a symposium-format doctoral defense.
The focus of our students’ research is rooted in service and leadership, with an emphasis on global health and humanitarian service and leadership. As a part of their coursework, our DMSc students participated in a service trip to Africa and the greater Pacific Northwest.
Take a short break from the Christmas Extravaganza and come to the symposium in Canyon Commons to hear about the exciting research our DMSc students have been doing. You will not only have the opportunity to hear about their research but are also encouraged to ask questions and interact with our students.

Please take a few moments to complete this survey so that George Fox University can better understand how we can support our students. This survey is anonymous.
