Health Professions

What do you get to do?

100

You want an event where you can practice working directly with patients and learn skills used to provide hands-on care. Your focus is on caring for patients rather than working mainly in a laboratory.

Clinical Nursing

You like science, but you don't necessarily want to work directly with patients all day. You'd rather work with biological materials, laboratory techniques, and technology used to study biological processes.

Biotechnology

What Interests You?

You are fascinated by why certain conditions run in families. You want to learn how DNA, inheritance, and genetic information can help explain health and disease.

Genetics

You don't just want to know what injury happened—you're interested in helping people prevent injuries, recover from them, and return to physical activity. Sports and human movement sound more interesting to you than medications or laboratory work.

Sports Medicine

A patient has trouble performing everyday activities because of an injury, illness, or disability. Your goal isn't simply to treat the condition—you want to help the person become more independent in their daily life.
