Bachelor of Science in Psychology

• 毕业一年: 2010

2010年毕业于剑桥大学, Jeni Turpen (Petty) received her Master of Arts in Biomedical Sciences from Midwestern University in Glendale, 亚利桑那州, in May 2013 and her Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine from A.T. Still University's Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in Kirksville, Missouri in May 2018.

Jen believes that the 荣誉项目 enhances the quality education that UE provides and the professionalism that it fosters in its students. “Thanks to the education and experiences that UE and the 荣誉项目 provided, I was selected to complete a year-long fellowship in medical education at ATSU-KCOM. This will definitely help me in the future as I intend to help train the next generation of physicians.”

During her time at UE, Jen enjoyed many aspects of the 荣誉项目. “My favorite part was getting to know the people involved in the 荣誉项目. I've made lifelong friends from this program - some of whom I lived next door to in Powell Hall. I also appreciated the fact that professors at UE would challenge the honors students to do better. I had a few professors who would push me to do more than what other students were required to do, because they knew I could. They fostered a sense of confidence and instilled a desire for continual pursuit of knowledge which has undoubtedly helped me along my career path.”

她还在继续, “除了, as a member of the 荣誉项目, I received funding to present research at two conferences while at UE. A fellow honors student, 罗谢尔·希利, and I did research on anger and anxiety in live action role playing. We presented our findings to both the Mid-America Undergraduate Psychology Research Conference and the Butler Undergraduate Research Conference.” Jen has continued to pursue research opportunities and recently published an article in the Medical Science Educator entitled "Performance Assessment in Medical School Curricula: An Innovative Method of Evaluating Sonographic Skills Using Ultrasound Practical Examinations".

Regarding her future plans, Jen is looking forward to completing her residency at Deaconess Hospital in Evansville, 2021年的印第安纳州. She then plans to work as a family practice physician partnering with her patients to help them live healthy happy lives.
