I was a biochem major who switched to health (with a concentration in health care administration) for my senior year. I am currently a public health graduate student focusing on epidemiology. I work as a quality/data analyst in Neonatology at a large regional teaching hospital.

For the people who answered this, welcome to the world of being plagued with general health questions and many of the “is this rash normal?” questions mwahaha

I majored in Chemistry in college, got a PhD in Immunology and an MD, followed by an Internal Medicine residency and Infectious Diseases fellowship. To say I’ve been a student for a long time is an understatement.

I was pre-medicine in college and majored in Biology. I then received my Masters in Public health and now I work as a patient navigator for the American Cancer Society.

I’m getting a degree in communication disorders which after grad school leads to a career in speech language pathology or audioology.

I’m currently majoring in Health Studies-Pre-Nursing (stupid title, but it’s what my degree is called before getting into the official nursing program.) It’ll be an AAS if I stick with it, I’m not sure if it’s just a AS if I get into the nursing program. (aas=associate in applied science

oh that’s great! I have seriously thought about becoming an RN. I recently just switched my major at a 4 year college from physical education with a minor in health to a sport and leisure management with a health concentration. I plan on going to graduate school once I graduate in the Fall ‘10
