Kurt Milton Pickett Award
Katie Bedard
Katie is a native Vermonter, who came to UVM thanks to the recommendation of her high school biology teacher. She has long had an interest in a medical career and so took training and received her EMT license here on campus. Katie also traveled to Peru with a group of other students to observe and assist in medical clinics. “My primary research interests lie in the field of physiology because it seeks understanding at the whole body, tissue, and molecular levels to allow for a comprehensive basis of knowledge. My research focuses around disease and aging as I have a particular interest in human health. Ultimately, I hope to attend medical school in 2015.”
Katie is also the recipient of a VT EPSCoR CWDD Native American Scholarship in recognition of her academic achievements.
