  Amy Prevost, M.S.

Amy has worked with BTCI since 1999, but came on staff full time in June 2004. She serves as the coordinator for most of the adult outreach and continuing education programs offered. The BTCI model for adult educational practice incorporates andragocial theory and aims to connect theoretical learning with concrete examples through the use of hands-on laboratory experiences for every level of adult learner, from non-scientist to those with many years' laboratory experience. In addition to her role as coordinator, Amy serves as an instructor and is involved in the design, development, implementation and evaluation of new and existing courses for adults.

Amy has undergraduate degrees from UW-Madison in Molecular Biology and French
(1999). She was awarded the Hilldale scholarship for research for her work with analyzing gene expression in Hyla versicolor. She received a master's degree in Adult and Continuing Education (2003), and is currently enrolled as a Ph.D. student (Anticipated Graduation 2009) in UW-Madison's Education Leadership and Policy Analysis Department, continuing her studies of higher education and adult and continuing education.

Amy is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Wisconsin Biotechnology and Medical Device Association. She has served as both a mentor and instructor for the Dane County Youth Apprenticeship Program in Biotechnology. In addition, Amy holds adjunct faculty positions with the UW-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health Clinical Laboratory Sciences program and the UW-Madison Neuroscience Training Program.
