Diana Mukweyi Returns to SAU

 

Diana Mukweyi

SAU Honors College graduate, Diana Mukweyi gave a talk today at SAU. She was sponsored by the Department of Biology.

Today, Diana is an IONM or an Inter Operative Neurophysiological Monitor. She monitors the progress of neurological surgeries of all kinds and alerts the team in real time if the surgery is having ill effects on the patient.

Her fascinating talk ranged over a wide variety of surgical events, from spinal cords to open brains. She described how she came to be an IONM and showed the several pathways toward such a career.

Before her talk she said she was moving to Kansas soon for a position that would allow her to travel, something she has always wanted to do. Her next stop will be in California.

It's always nice to see the progress of our grads. Thanks for dropping by!
