Commit to Care at One of the Nation’s Largest Health-Focused Colleges
Improving health and providing health care to communities takes many hands and hearts — it is a very “human-to-human” endeavor. Our collective challenge is to leverage technological advancements and progress to make the most of them without losing that spirit of “care.”
It requires a thoughtful effort to think bigger about health.
That’s where you come in.
During your educational experiences with us, you’ll contribute your time and talents in ways that are unique to you through your choice of major and focus areas. You’ll also learn how to lend your individual skills to help move health care forward through collaborative, interdisciplinary efforts.
You’ll be prepared to serve communities, big and small, and to join a thriving 21st century workforce busy creating scalable solutions to solve today’s biggest health challenges while creating positive health outcomes across Ohio and the world.
