Improving Your Future and the World's

Widgets

Whether you want to change the face of medicine, improve patient care or attend a prestigious graduate school, we're here to help those dreams come true. Blugolds who participated in research with Mayo Clinic Health System before graduation have landed themselves in Graduate Research Employment Programs, Ph.D. candidacies, biotechnology companies and more. Let us be your launchpad for a future in medicine or other health-centered careers.

Doing undergraduate research at UW-Eau Claire helped prepare me to be more independent working here at Mayo Clinic. I felt more comfortable being an independent scientist after doing research for so long. It was a really great experience.

Advancing to medical school

Having grown up with health issues and making frequent hospital visits, biology major Parker Chrisler knew he wanted to help others someday in the medical field. And now he will be able to do just that. Through UWEC's collaboration with Mayo Clinic Health System, Parker was able to earn patient contact hours working as a phlebotomist for Mayo Clinic and gain the firsthand knowledge he needed to get into medical school.
