A fledgling master\u2019s program and a graduate-level certificate program focused on healthcare were launched at Kent State University\u2019s College of Architecture and Environment Design<\/a> in 2013. However, it wasn\u2019t until 2018 that it truly got off the ground, thanks to Sara Bayramzadeh beginning her role as coordinator.<\/p>\n

Bayramzadeh\u2019s approach to the curriculum requires students to find a practice-based mentor who specializes in their area of interest and meet with them several times throughout the semester to learn from their real-world expertise and expand their professional network. Additionally, the relationships are intended to have a research focus and post-occupancy evaluation practice.<\/p>\n

Next, Bayramzadeh encourages students to stay connected with industry members throughout their studies at Kent State, as well, to keep learning from their real-world experience and to grow a professional network.<\/p>\n

Her efforts to immerse students in practice has manifested in other ways, too. For example, in 2021 she brought a group of students to participate in the student design charrette held at the Healthcare Design Conference + Expo<\/a> in Cleveland, where they used research data and evidence-based design concepts to design an ambulatory surgery center that reflects age equity within the community.<\/p>\n

Additionally, she led a research study on Level 1 trauma rooms funded by a $2.4 million grant through which she provided mentorship to six graduate research assistants and two nursing students. Through the project, Bayramzadeh delivered a learning experience that integrated the research into the overall design studio, allowing all of her students to participate.<\/p>\n

The project included collaborating with trauma clinicians through interviews and design thinking sessions, developing journey maps, and analyzing data collected to inform the construction of a full-scale mock-up.<\/p>\n

Through her student leadership and mentorship, Bayramzadeh is providing critical exposure not only to industry professionals but to methods and hands-on learning opportunities necessary for them to succeed.<\/p>\n

\u201cCreating this exposure for students and paraprofessionals to learn about research methods, get involved in publications and presentations, and be recognized for their contributions is a game changer,\u201d her nomination reads.<\/p>\n
