Monday, December 5th, 2022

The university community is invited to a graduate research symposium hosted by the DMSc (Doctor of Medical Science) program from 5 to 7 p.m. this Thursday, Dec. 8, in Canyon Commons.

The DMSc 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, particularly 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.

Join us at the symposium to hear about the exciting research our DMSc students have been doing. You will not only have the opportunity to hear about their research. You’re also encouraged to ask questions and interact with our students.

A silent auction will be held during the event and will showcase handmade items from master craftsmen and women throughout Africa.

For more information or to donate to a future DMSc service trip, contact us at padmsc@georgefox.edu.
