Juniata has a tradition of preparing students for many healthcare careers, from public health officer to veterinarian. Our graduates work in cities, in rural healthcare, and around the world. Starting your first year, our health professions committee and your personal adviser will mentor you, answer your questions, and provide the support that will help you rise to the challenges ahead.

Hands-on experience as a healthcare advocate in our local hospital or performing research on gut bacteria, as well as the opportunity to study internationally, give you an edge in the application process, and contribute to our students' consistently high acceptance rates to medical schools.
