Career Insight: Healthcare and Biological Sciences


Course Description

Delve into medicine, public health, or research! Whether your interests will take you into the OR and examining room or behind the bench, your journey begins here at UChicago.

In the morning, UChicago professors, lecturers, and researchers will introduce you to key concepts and practices in the biological sciences through lectures, discussions, readings, and hands-on activities designed to reveal a range of possible pursuits. In the afternoon, connect with practitioners through presentations, informational interviews, and career treks around the city, and with Career Advancement staff who will help you consider what various career paths you might follow within the world of healthcare and the biological sciences and cultivate the skills you need to begin to pursue those opportunities. You will keep a response journal and complete other assignments that will become a part of a final portfolio that you will submit at the end of the program.
