Health Professions
Graduates of Lewis & Clark College enter a wide range of fields in the health professions, including medicine, dentistry, nursing, veterinary medicine, osteopathic medicine, medical technology, physical therapy, and public health.
The liberal arts education at Lewis & Clark prepares students to enter these health professions with a well-rounded education that integrates the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.
Lewis & Clark graduates have gone on to study at health professional schools such as Oregon Health & Science University, the University of Washington, Vanderbilt University, Harvard University, Wake Forest University, Weill Cornell Medical College, and Johns Hopkins University.
Lewis & Clark’s Center for Community and Global Health offers support to every student through Pre-Health Advising, the Health Studies minor, programming and events, internships and community partnerships. The Pre-Health Professionals Club offers a community of students who are interested in careers in health and healing.
Whether you know exactly where you want to go, or are just beginning to explore the health professions, you are welcome at the Center for Community and Global Health.
Community and Global Health is located in room 307 and 309 of JR Howard Hall on the Undergraduate Campus.
