As an undergraduate, Mary Beth spent Spring Quarter 2007 in South Africa through the Global Healthcare Technologies Study Abroad Program. There she reported "encountering the stark disparities between regional healthcare resources . . . patients being treated in a modern hospital and those in a crowded free clinic.” Working with healthcare providers and mothers, she designed a Premature Infant Apnea Monitor that was awarded the Best BME Design Project. That summer as an intern at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, she helped develop a robotic device to assist stroke patients in regaining upper extremity mobility. After graduation, Mary Beth worked as a Clinical Research Associate at a pharmaceutical advertising agency and volunteered at LaRabida Children’s Hospital, Chicago, IL. Inspired by the children being treated there, Mary Beth decided to pursue a career as a physician’s assistant.
