Sparking Innovation

Intro

When Mayo Clinic Health System and the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire started focusing on collaborative research — a landmark agreement that was only the second of its kind in the U.S. — a new era began for Blugolds interested in scientific research.

This collaboration exists to prepare the next generation of scientists and healthcare professionals to be innovators in patient care and human wellbeing. In their first year as a student, Blugolds have the opportunity to work on research alongside UW-Eau Claire faculty and Mayo Clinic Health System professionals. This access is exceptional, and rare, at the undergraduate level. 

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.

Where Change Meets Action 

The groundbreaking agreement between UW-Eau Claire and Mayo Clinic Health System unites academics and clinical experts in scientific inquiry that will improve patient care and advance positive outcomes. This work empowers faculty, staff, and students to explore their interests and put ideas into practice. New avenues of learning are created for all involved. This local effort has the potential to make a global impact.

Setting Yourself Apart 

UW-Eau Claire is a top masters-level university in the country for excellence in undergraduate research — and our collaboration with Mayo Clinic Health System profoundly expands the opportunities for Blugolds. 

You may study compassion fatigue among caregivers, uncover challenges to accessing clean water, improve suicide prevention programs, or propose revisions to ER protocols. And your findings could lead to being published in peer-reviewed journals; presenting your results at regional, national and international conferences; or making an impact on future studies and practices.

These experiences set Blugold graduates apart and are just one example of the many ways 澳门葡京网赌送彩金 prepares you to excel in the workforce or graduate school. The ability to conduct research, understand data, solve problems, and think critically are sought-after skills you will gain at UW-Eau Claire.
