Healthcare careers

If you are pre-med or pre-dental student, or applying to ARNP (Nurse practitioner), physician assistant, physical and occupational therapy, and pharmD programs, this curriculum is designed for you. All these programs require very similar prerequisites and extracurricular requirements, so you do not need to decide which career is best for you right away. Our workshops will help you understand the nuances between the different pathways, so you can be confident you are applying to the right one. 

Before deciding on a career path, ask yourself how you envision your day in the career you have chosen:

• Do you want to be the main decision maker? 
  Always- Physician, Dentist 
  Sometimes- ARNP, P.A.
• Do you want to be active?

• Do you want to do highly focused work the majority of your day?

  Pathology Assistant 
  Pharmacy 
• Do you want to spend most of your time listening and guiding?

  Therapist 
  Dietitian
