Health Professions

Health Professions:  Overview

Today’s health care professions demand more than just achievement in the life sciences. Maturity, leadership, commitment, integrity, communication skills, and knowledge of health care policy are essential for the health care professional.  Whitman's liberal arts curriculum has prepared many of our graduates for successful careers as physicians, nurses, dentists, veterinarians, physical therapists, pharmacists, and public health specialists. Whitman students have acquired an excellent reputation among the professional schools they have attended.  We like to attribute this to our strong undergraduate curriculum that provides students with both the breadth and depth necessary to excel.  In addition to general courses in biochemistry, physiology, microbiology, or nutrition, Whitman offers seminar courses in areas such as medical anthropology, psychology of aging, biomedical ethics, and global infectious diseases.
