More Health Professions
There are many opportunities for students interested in health and health care.
Within most health fields, there are possibilities to craft careers with different emphases (e.g., research, administration, policy), to serve in various contexts (e.g., community, institutional settings), or to serve different populations (e.g., pediatric, geriatric). To learn about all health professions and consider whether a health care career would be a good fit for you, visit this comprehensive resource: ExploreHealthCareers.org.
Many Bryn Mawr students ask about dentistry, medicine, nursing, optometry, pharmacy, physician assistant, public health, and veterinary medicine. But there are many other careers for students interested in serving the public through healthcare provision. Some professionals combine training in multiple fields (e.g., M.D./Ph.D., MSN/JD, MPH/MSW, PT/MBA).
