A Message from the Dean

Duane Mezwa 2021Dear OUWB Community,

Welcome to the Embark Capstone Colloquium digital presentation where the Class of 2022 showcases the efforts of their wide-ranging research projects. The content you will find on these pages is the culmination of a four-year long journey; one that is guided by Embark mentors – basic science and clinical faculty members – who take time from their responsibilities to work with our students. We thank these mentors for their realization that working with our students is a fundamental contribution to the future of OUWB and its graduates; we value their commitment to our students’ success.

OUWB’s Embark Program offers medical students the potential to achieve scientific or social impact through their findings, and to foster an appreciation for self-directed learning. We congratulate each member of the Class of 2022 for completing their projects. We truly hope this experience inspires a desire to continue exploring the endless research possibilities that await them as they embark on their careers as physicians.

Sincerely,

Mezwa Signature
