Joe was awarded the National Strength and Conditioning Association Grant for Masters Students for his thesis project titled, “Effects of Post-Resistance Exercise Fan Bike Intervals on Arterial Stiffness and Next-day Recovery Markers in Trained Adults.”
James Brown, BS
James Brown graduated from Coastal Carolina University in 2022 in exercise science. James is a first-year graduate student in the Sports Medicine program and works as a physiology laboratory assistant.  His research interests include the use of impedance cardiography to measure hemodynamic effects of blood flow restriction during aerobic exercise and the use of near infrared spectroscopy to measure mitochondrial capacity in collegiate athletes and age matched college students.

Clinical Internship/Practicum Experience Update

Many of the clinical programs offered by the Waters College of Health Professions require a clinical internship or practicum experience to fulfill degree requirements.  Pursuant to the University's legal agreements, participants in clinical experiences are required to abide by the workplace rules of the clinical site. The University is aware of recent federal requirements that would mandate vaccination against COVID-19 for those working in certain settings, including health care. At this time, we expect that these new requirements may significantly impact our ability to locate a placement for students who remain unvaccinated. As always, WCHP will continue to make every effort to place students at clinical sites. However, please be aware that we may be unable to locate a site to accept unvaccinated students, which may cause a delay or inability to progress and complete the program of study.
