Why Study Health Science?

American demographics, economics and technological advances in diagnostics, treatment and therapy have combined to create an environment where patients are diagnosed earlier, are more likely to survive disease or trauma, live longer, participate in ambulatory-based treatment, and asked to take a more participatory role in their own health care. As advances in science and information technology collide with a new consumerism and cry for reform of systematic health care processes, educators find themselves in the midst of transition as we move from one health care model to another. Whatever the new health care model evolves into, you can be assured that the School of Health Professions will provide its graduates with the necessary skills to practice their profession.
