Recipients of the Early Career Professional Service Award
 

2008
Diane H. Munzenmaier, Ph.D.
Medical College of Wisconsin

Dr. Munzenmaier has served as judge and chair of various K-12 science fairs throughout Wisconsin. Because of her strong commitment to K-12 through medical school education, she was appointed to the APS Education Committee. As a Committee member, she proposed, developed and helped pilot test the K-12 outreach program, Physiology Understanding Week (PhUn Week). Phun Week has met with great acclaim and has grown in just 3 years into a program that is held at locations across the US and its territories and that involves undergraduate and graduate students, as well as faculty.

Dr. Munzenmaier has taught physiology for the general public, as well as undergraduate, graduate and medical students. She has been very involved in the Summer Program for Undergraduate Research at the Medical College of Wisconsin. She has served as a judge for the APS David Bruce Awards in Undergraduate Research and encouraged her department to be a repeat sponsor of the special APS Undergraduate Poster Session.

Because of her concern with the declining use of animals in teaching medical students, Dr. Munzenmaier helped organize, redesign and direct a new whole animal course for 1st-year medical students. She also is a member of the Medical College of Wisconsin’s IACUC.

Dr. Munzenmaier has served as a reviewer on two NIH Study Sections. Internationally, Dr. Munzenmaier helped organize the 8th World Congress of Microcirculation Meeting, which involved over 600 scientists from 30 countries.
