Annual Experimental Biology Conference

April 13, 2022

Students studying in the Department of Heath Sciences and Kinesiology recently traveled to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to attend the the Annual Experimental Biology Conference. Under the guidance of an interdisciplinary team to include Georgia Southern University faculty members Greg Grosicki, Ph.D., Andrew Flatt, Ph.D., and Amy Chall, MS, and undergraduate medical laboratory science student Anna Bryan, the following students presented their research:    

  • Joseph Vondrasek, graduate sports medicine student, presented “Nighttime blood pressure dipping is attenuated in young and apparently healthy black adults compared to white adults.”
  • Zoe Lincoln, health performance/fitness management undergraduate student, presented “Free day, but not work day, sleep duration is inversely associated with aortic stiffness in apparently healthy young adults.”
  • Wesley Blumenburg, graduate sports medicine student, presented “Perceived pain is associated with cardiovascular responsiveness during metaboreflex activation in apparently healthy young males and females.”

Employment Opportunities

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.
