0:00:00.949 --> 0:00:05.910
greetings welcome to exploring the

0:00:04.049 --> 0:00:08.639
health professions at the University of

0:00:05.910 --> 0:00:10.200
Illinois at Chicago my name is Dan de

0:00:08.639 --> 0:00:12.090
Caesar and I'm with the College of

0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:13.769
Pharmacy but I'm here to provide you an

0:00:12.090 --> 0:00:17.340
overview of all the different health

0:00:13.769 --> 0:00:19.199
professions available at UIC so whether

0:00:17.340 --> 0:00:20.699
you know exactly what help feel that you

0:00:19.199 --> 0:00:22.500
want to go into or you're still

0:00:20.699 --> 0:00:25.769
exploring to kind of find the best fit

0:00:22.500 --> 0:00:27.529
this session is provide we'll provide

0:00:25.769 --> 0:00:31.019
you more information about who we are

0:00:27.529 --> 0:00:32.669
what we have to offer ultimately what

0:00:31.019 --> 0:00:34.620
we're looking for for successful

0:00:32.669 --> 0:00:37.050
applicants and then provide you

0:00:34.620 --> 0:00:38.610
information about how you can be a

0:00:37.050 --> 0:00:41.160
successful graduate and professional

0:00:38.610 --> 0:00:44.219
student candidate there's going to be a

0:00:41.160 --> 0:00:46.350
separate recording which will include a

0:00:44.219 --> 0:00:48.899
panel discussion from representatives

0:00:46.350 --> 0:00:57.539
from each of the health professions in a

0:00:48.899 --> 0:00:59.100
different session so UIC is part of the

0:00:57.539 --> 0:01:01.170
University of Illinois Hospital and

0:00:59.100 --> 0:01:03.180
health care system we are one of a

0:01:01.170 --> 0:01:05.159
handful of universities that offers a

0:01:03.180 --> 0:01:08.010
full range of health professions on one

0:01:05.159 --> 0:01:09.750
campus and for UI health in a hospital

0:01:08.010 --> 0:01:12.409
healthcare system there are seven health

0:01:09.750 --> 0:01:16.549
science colleges Applied Health Sciences

0:01:12.409 --> 0:01:21.479
dentistry medicine nursing pharmacy

0:01:16.549 --> 0:01:23.250
Public Health and Social Work so UI

0:01:21.479 --> 0:01:25.259
house mental health care system has a

0:01:23.250 --> 0:01:28.200
wide breadth and depth of providing

0:01:25.259 --> 0:01:31.100
clinical and health care services to

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:33.390
patients and all the Health Professions

0:01:31.100 --> 0:01:35.159
have an advantage of kind of being

0:01:33.390 --> 0:01:36.960
connected to the large hospital

0:01:35.159 --> 0:01:39.060
healthcare system and so we have faculty

0:01:36.960 --> 0:01:41.130
who are clinicians that provide direct

0:01:39.060 --> 0:01:43.530
patient care but then they also work and

0:01:41.130 --> 0:01:45.060
provide education for students so

0:01:43.530 --> 0:01:47.130
they're bringing that expertise in the

0:01:45.060 --> 0:01:48.840
classroom and then there's a lot of

0:01:47.130 --> 0:01:51.390
opportunities for students to gain

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:54.030
experience in those clinical settings so

0:01:51.390 --> 0:01:56.009
these are great opportunities directly

0:01:54.030 --> 0:01:59.520
related to our from the colleges and

0:01:56.009 --> 0:02:01.500
directly related to patient care but

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:03.840
then you also have the advantage that

0:02:01.500 --> 0:02:06.479
you are part of a large metropolitan

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:09.030
area so for the health science programs

0:02:06.479 --> 0:02:10.709
at UIC you have the advantage of being

0:02:09.030 --> 0:02:13.110
connected to a large research university

0:02:10.709 --> 0:02:13.890
that's connected to a large hospital and

0:02:13.110 --> 0:02:17.400
healthcare system

0:02:13.890 --> 0:02:18.900
but also in a great metropolitan city

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:21.360
like Chicago so there's great

0:02:18.900 --> 0:02:24.840
opportunities for engaging the community

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:26.580
and providing service and in a variety

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.960
of different ways and these are

0:02:26.580 --> 0:02:29.580
available to also to you as an

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:31.440
undergraduate so it's a great way to

0:02:29.580 --> 0:02:33.930
distinguish yourself as you're preparing

0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:36.480
for the Health Professions so UI health

0:02:33.930 --> 0:02:39.180
does have a great impact not only in

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:41.480
Illinois but in the nation but we are a

0:02:39.180 --> 0:02:44.370
leading provider of physicians

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:45.959
pharmacists nurses and dentists and even

0:02:44.370 --> 0:02:48.560
social workers in the state of Illinois

0:02:45.959 --> 0:02:52.020
so if you're looking to work and

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:53.940
continue on in Illinois or the Midwest

0:02:52.020 --> 0:02:56.300
you're suddenly part of a large alumni

0:02:53.940 --> 0:02:59.760
network that you can be connected with

0:02:56.300 --> 0:03:00.840
so all the health sciences at UIC kind

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.489
of have the advantage that we are

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:04.170
connected to a large Medical District

0:03:02.489 --> 0:03:05.940
one of the largest medical districts in

0:03:04.170 --> 0:03:09.090
the nation so not only does it include

0:03:05.940 --> 0:03:11.700
UI hospital and healthcare system but it

0:03:09.090 --> 0:03:13.920
includes rush Cook County and the VA

0:03:11.700 --> 0:03:15.390
hospitals and this would be again great

0:03:13.920 --> 0:03:17.250
opportunities for you as an

0:03:15.390 --> 0:03:20.280
undergraduate either gain volunteer

0:03:17.250 --> 0:03:22.080
experiences or kind of gaining some

0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:24.660
either you know work experience as a

0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:27.299
student and then definitely so when

0:03:24.660 --> 0:03:29.840
you're in the program so you know within

0:03:27.299 --> 0:03:32.840
blocks of where you're taking classes

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:35.250
you're connected to the medical district

0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:37.590
many of our programs are nationally

0:03:35.250 --> 0:03:39.660
ranked and kind of recognized for their

0:03:37.590 --> 0:03:42.920
excellence and training and preparation

0:03:39.660 --> 0:03:45.600
of students and also recognize the

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:48.060
outstanding achievements of our faculty

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:49.830
so our faculty are you know nationally

0:03:48.060 --> 0:03:51.480
and internationally known and as a

0:03:49.830 --> 0:03:53.730
student you know you're at a large

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:56.549
research university you have the benefit

0:03:53.730 --> 0:04:01.440
of smaller class sizes so you have a

0:03:56.549 --> 0:04:02.880
direct access to that faculty also great

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:05.130
opportunities for research which we'll

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:08.610
go into a moment great opportunities for

0:04:05.130 --> 0:04:10.640
continued clinical placement and you

0:04:08.610 --> 0:04:12.570
know externships or internships

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:14.340
opportunities and a lot of these

0:04:12.570 --> 0:04:16.260
potentially could be available to you

0:04:14.340 --> 0:04:18.150
with gaining some of those initial

0:04:16.260 --> 0:04:20.220
experiences as an undergraduate but then

0:04:18.150 --> 0:04:22.229
definitely continuing in the graduate

0:04:20.220 --> 0:04:23.789
and professional programs each of the

0:04:22.229 --> 0:04:25.260
programs have different points of entry

0:04:23.789 --> 0:04:26.729
some are you would come in as an

0:04:25.260 --> 0:04:27.750
undergraduate or an upper division

0:04:26.729 --> 0:04:29.840
student

0:04:27.750 --> 0:04:31.950
and then others that you would apply to

0:04:29.840 --> 0:04:34.650
after you complete a bachelor's degree

0:04:31.950 --> 0:04:37.820
and we'll go into a little bit more

0:04:34.650 --> 0:04:42.920
about that later in this presentation so

0:04:37.820 --> 0:04:45.600
getting a sense of you know UIC research

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:48.630
there is also all the health programs

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:50.490
and Health Professions participating a

0:04:48.630 --> 0:04:52.650
great deal of research and the advantage

0:04:50.490 --> 0:04:56.040
for you as an undergraduate is that a

0:04:52.650 --> 0:04:59.130
lot of other major research universities

0:04:56.040 --> 0:05:01.020
reserve research for just graduate and

0:04:59.130 --> 0:05:02.730
professional students but you as an

0:05:01.020 --> 0:05:04.290
undergraduate will have many of

0:05:02.730 --> 0:05:05.820
opportunities to participate in research

0:05:04.290 --> 0:05:07.140
as well and this would be a great

0:05:05.820 --> 0:05:09.510
opportunity for you to distinguish

0:05:07.140 --> 0:05:11.160
yourself as you prepare for the graduate

0:05:09.510 --> 0:05:13.350
professional programs or as you're

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:15.660
preparing your applications kind of

0:05:13.350 --> 0:05:17.400
having that research again it's

0:05:15.660 --> 0:05:19.110
something that is unique and a great way

0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:22.080
to distinguish yourself moving forward

0:05:19.110 --> 0:05:23.880

0:09:11.490 --> 0:09:18.480
advising here at UIC we are located in

0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:20.880
the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences

0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:27.089
however we work with students from any

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:29.459
undergraduate college at UIC so the

0:09:27.089 --> 0:09:31.830
primary pre-health fields that we work

0:09:29.459 --> 0:09:34.980
with are the ones that have already been

0:09:31.830 --> 0:09:36.660
mentioned but in addition to what UIC

0:09:34.980 --> 0:09:38.070
offers we also work with students who

0:09:36.660 --> 0:09:40.220
are interested in that comma tree or a

0:09:38.070 --> 0:09:43.470
physician assistant studies podiatry

0:09:40.220 --> 0:09:45.810
veterinary medicine or really the whole

0:09:43.470 --> 0:09:48.020
gamut of pre-health fields that are out

0:09:45.810 --> 0:09:52.529
there because this is a pretty expansive

0:09:48.020 --> 0:09:54.240
career field one of the questions that

0:09:52.529 --> 0:09:56.240
we get asked right now because we work

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:58.860
specifically with undergraduate students

0:09:56.240 --> 0:10:01.320
so if you're coming into college to earn

0:09:58.860 --> 0:10:02.820
your bachelor degree whether it's

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:05.700
Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science

0:10:02.820 --> 0:10:07.980
you're going to be working with us we

0:10:05.700 --> 0:10:09.959
often get asked how do i declare pre

0:10:07.980 --> 0:10:13.589
health or how do i declare pre-med as a

0:10:09.959 --> 0:10:15.480
major you can't so pre health or pre-med

0:10:13.589 --> 0:10:18.360
is not a major pre-nursing is not a

0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:20.490
major however what we have are what we

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:22.440
call educational goals and these are

0:10:20.490 --> 0:10:24.149
things that you can declare to let us

0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:26.459
know that you have an interest in the

0:10:24.149 --> 0:10:27.630
health professions so that we can make

0:10:26.459 --> 0:10:31.649
sure that you get the appropriate

0:10:27.630 --> 0:10:33.149
guidance early on from orientation up

0:10:31.649 --> 0:10:35.130
until the time that you apply and enroll

0:10:33.149 --> 0:10:37.140
in the program that you're interested in

0:10:35.130 --> 0:10:38.850
so you can let us know that you're

0:10:37.140 --> 0:10:40.470
interested in pre health on your common

0:10:38.850 --> 0:10:42.209
application and you may have done that

0:10:40.470 --> 0:10:45.420
by selecting an interest in medicine or

0:10:42.209 --> 0:10:45.959
nursing and we'll make that note some of

0:10:45.420 --> 0:10:48.329
you though

0:10:45.959 --> 0:10:51.149
may have changed your mind between when

0:10:48.329 --> 0:10:53.220
you submitted your common application

0:10:51.149 --> 0:10:55.740
and as you're heading into orientation

0:10:53.220 --> 0:10:57.149
and that's okay you can tell your

0:10:55.740 --> 0:10:59.490
advisor at orientation

0:10:57.149 --> 0:11:01.800
hey I've changed my mind I'm now

0:10:59.490 --> 0:11:03.959
interested in dentistry or occupational

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:06.540
therapy or whatever the case may be and

0:11:03.959 --> 0:11:08.279
they will help you change that what we

0:11:06.540 --> 0:11:09.749
also see happen though is

0:11:08.279 --> 0:11:13.050
students do change their mind throughout

0:11:09.749 --> 0:11:14.839
their time as an undergraduate so you

0:11:13.050 --> 0:11:19.649
may come in to UIC

0:11:14.839 --> 0:11:21.480
wanting to be an English major wanting

0:11:19.649 --> 0:11:23.430
to study music and not have an interest

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:26.459
in health and something may happen

0:11:23.430 --> 0:11:28.949
during your time while you're here and

0:11:26.459 --> 0:11:32.519
you may discover as a junior I really

0:11:28.949 --> 0:11:35.160
want to become a dentist you can change

0:11:32.519 --> 0:11:37.199
your goal at any point during your time

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:40.110
at UIC and it's fairly easy to do

0:11:37.199 --> 0:11:41.819
through an online and that form will be

0:11:40.110 --> 0:11:48.059
something that you can access once

0:11:41.819 --> 0:11:50.249
you're a student at UIC so how do we

0:11:48.059 --> 0:11:52.230
help students become a successful

0:11:50.249 --> 0:11:54.420
candidate and what does that mean so

0:11:52.230 --> 0:11:55.620
with pre-health advising you're going to

0:11:54.420 --> 0:11:57.360
talk with us about what are your

0:11:55.620 --> 0:11:59.550
required courses that you need to take

0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:02.309
but also what are the other components

0:11:59.550 --> 0:12:03.329
that you need to develop over your time

0:12:02.309 --> 0:12:05.519
as an undergraduate

0:12:03.329 --> 0:12:07.290
so Health Professions programs are all

0:12:05.519 --> 0:12:09.779
looking for a strong academic background

0:12:07.290 --> 0:12:14.040
they all want students with strong

0:12:09.779 --> 0:12:17.279
grades especially in prerequisite

0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:19.649
courses but really across the board but

0:12:17.279 --> 0:12:22.370
outside of your academics that's a very

0:12:19.649 --> 0:12:24.480
one faceted component to who you are

0:12:22.370 --> 0:12:26.699
what else should you be thinking about

0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:29.879
well most programs are looking for some

0:12:26.699 --> 0:12:33.110
sort of volunteer experience many wants

0:12:29.879 --> 0:12:35.759
you to get clinical experiences as well

0:12:33.110 --> 0:12:39.389
they want you to be a well rounded

0:12:35.759 --> 0:12:40.860
person and that could be that could come

0:12:39.389 --> 0:12:42.899
from different involvement so that you

0:12:40.860 --> 0:12:44.069
have that could come from work that you

0:12:42.899 --> 0:12:46.470
do

0:12:44.069 --> 0:12:49.529
leadership experience which certainly

0:12:46.470 --> 0:12:51.629
could be being a leader of a club or an

0:12:49.529 --> 0:12:53.420
organization but you also want to think

0:12:51.629 --> 0:12:56.579
about how else can I show leadership

0:12:53.420 --> 0:12:59.610
through my community through my work

0:12:56.579 --> 0:13:00.839
experiences and then ultimately they

0:12:59.610 --> 0:13:02.370
want you to have critical thinking

0:13:00.839 --> 0:13:04.170
skills so and those critical thinking

0:13:02.370 --> 0:13:06.870
skills are things that you will develop

0:13:04.170 --> 0:13:08.459
during your time at UIC as an

0:13:06.870 --> 0:13:10.620
undergraduate student in your coursework

0:13:08.459 --> 0:13:13.649
but also outside of the classroom in

0:13:10.620 --> 0:13:15.509
those involvements with engaging with

0:13:13.649 --> 0:13:18.860
other students in the things that you're

0:13:15.509 --> 0:13:18.860
participating in as well

0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:24.590
and so how does UIC specifically help

0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:27.420
you become a successful candidate well

0:13:24.590 --> 0:13:30.240
there are a number of academic

0:13:27.420 --> 0:13:31.650
preparation programs because again all

0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:33.120
of these programs all the Health

0:13:31.650 --> 0:13:35.850
Professions programs really want you to

0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:38.310
be a strong student so you want to take

0:13:35.850 --> 0:13:39.210
advantage of what's here at UIC that

0:13:38.310 --> 0:13:40.830
could be through the Urban Health

0:13:39.210 --> 0:13:44.180
Program which will be talked about later

0:13:40.830 --> 0:13:47.190
during the panel there are so many

0:13:44.180 --> 0:13:49.800
tutoring opportunities on this campus

0:13:47.190 --> 0:13:52.740
it's kind of ridiculous all you need to

0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:54.980
do is reach out so if you don't know

0:13:52.740 --> 0:13:57.240
where to access them contact an advisor

0:13:54.980 --> 0:13:59.220
contact one of your support services

0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:01.560
they will help you find the appropriate

0:13:59.220 --> 0:14:03.090
tutoring and it's out there and it's

0:14:01.560 --> 0:14:04.650
available for you so please take

0:14:03.090 --> 0:14:07.170
advantage of it there are learning

0:14:04.650 --> 0:14:09.840
centers like the Writing Center there's

0:14:07.170 --> 0:14:12.990
a sorry you can get help with time

0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:14.670
management test study skills those

0:14:12.990 --> 0:14:16.050
participate those sorts of things and

0:14:14.670 --> 0:14:17.850
then of course academic advising

0:14:16.050 --> 0:14:21.120
throughout your time while you're a

0:14:17.850 --> 0:14:23.610
student in addition be thinking about

0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:25.230
would you like to do research is this

0:14:23.610 --> 0:14:27.090
something that you're interested in you

0:14:25.230 --> 0:14:30.210
can participate in that while you are an

0:14:27.090 --> 0:14:31.770
undergrad as was mentioned earlier and

0:14:30.210 --> 0:14:33.510
then there are so many student

0:14:31.770 --> 0:14:35.760
organizations and so many events and

0:14:33.510 --> 0:14:39.990
activities here at UIC

0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:43.320
we actually have activity or

0:14:39.990 --> 0:14:45.810
organization fairs where you can sign up

0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:47.640
with different student groups to get

0:14:45.810 --> 0:14:50.100
involved so it's as easy as putting your

0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:51.900
name down on an email and getting

0:14:50.100 --> 0:14:53.760
connected to others but that's a great

0:14:51.900 --> 0:14:55.350
way to network it's a great way to learn

0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:57.960
about what other students are doing and

0:14:55.350 --> 0:15:00.210
really get involved on campus as well as

0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:02.040
off campus and then we'd also encourage

0:15:00.210 --> 0:15:04.110
you to think about what other study

0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:06.360
abroad or other opportunities are there

0:15:04.110 --> 0:15:09.120
like study abroad like participate

0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:11.160
participate in a minor within your

0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:15.089
studies for pre-health

0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:16.770
you can pick any major so if you have a

0:15:15.089 --> 0:15:19.560
particular interest in history but you

0:15:16.770 --> 0:15:22.410
still want to go into occupational

0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:25.589
therapy you could be a history major you

0:15:22.410 --> 0:15:28.260
might find that hey I want to work

0:15:25.589 --> 0:15:31.230
particularly with women so maybe a minor

0:15:28.260 --> 0:15:32.150
in gender Women's Studies is something

0:15:31.230 --> 0:15:34.880
that you want to consider

0:15:32.150 --> 0:15:38.210
or a minor or certificate in a language

0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:40.220
that you can engage more specifically

0:15:38.210 --> 0:15:42.080
with a particular population that you're

0:15:40.220 --> 0:15:44.600
interested in all of these things

0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:51.860
together will help make you a

0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:53.360
well-rounded thoughtful candidate for

0:15:51.860 --> 0:15:56.690

0:16:38.870 --> 0:16:43.970
to kind of look at the strong teaching

0:16:41.780 --> 0:16:45.920

0:16:43.970 --> 0:16:47.930
Health Professions and our partnership

with UI health a hospital health care

0:16:47.930 --> 0:16:51.710

0:16:49.490 --> 0:16:53.990
combination of connecting you to a large

0:16:51.710 --> 0:16:56.450
hospital and health care system a large

0:16:53.990 --> 0:16:58.550

campus that is connected to the city and

0:16:58.550 --> 0:17:02.480
Chicago with a great many opportunities

0:17:00.890 --> 0:17:04.670
