Biography
Dr. Prunuske was an assistant professor at the University of Minnesota Medical School Duluth campus and was involved in a number of programs designed to support the inclusion of underrepresented students in biomedical sciences and medicine.
She brings her scientific rigor to medical education evaluation monitoring the effectiveness of MCW-Central Wisconsin programs. She collaborates with a biotech company, Biomeme, and UW-Stevens Point undergraduates in the development of tests for tick-borne illnesses. She is happy to present to community members on the use of this iPhone dependent device and mentors medical students in community engaged research.
She is passionate about mentoring and is a Master Facilitator as part of the National Research Mentoring Network and started a mentoring program in teaching through the American Society for Cell Biology.
