Biomedical Graduate Student Organization

The Biomedical Graduate Student Organization (BGSO) was founded in the spring of 2016 as a way to enhance the careers of biomedical scientists in training by offering opportunities for networking, social interactions, professional development, and community outreach. The BGSO aims to bring students from across the biomedical disciplines together, fostering lasting friendships and collaborations. All BCH graduate students are encouraged to get involved with the BGSO!
