The Lipscomb Faculty have proudly chosen Jessie Washington as their May Student of the Month!

Jessie will graduate with the Lipscomb University Class of 2026. In response to her nomination, Jessie says,

After seven years as a respiratory therapist, I felt called to do more. I wanted to expand my knowledge and take on a greater role in health care. Perfusion allows me to support the most vulnerable patients while working closely with a multidisciplinary team with the same goals. I’m drawn to the intensity, the responsibility, and the opportunity to stand beside patients and their families in their most fragile moments.

The MUSC Faculty have proudly chosen Brandon Smiley as their May Student of the Month!

Brandon will graduate in just a few weeks with the Medical University of South Carolina Class of 2025. In response to his nomination, Brandon says,

“Perfusion appeals to me largely due to its ability to couple specialized medical knowledge with mechanical engineering in an ever-evolving field, sometimes in surprisingly creative ways. I am excited to continue navigating high-pressure cases alongside exceptional minds, working collaboratively for the greater good of the patient.”

Congratulations, Brandon!
