tonight this evening we're excited to have you  

00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:16.640
join us and to talk a little bit more about 
some of the pre-health options at UIC we will  

00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:27.280
let me go ahead so first off congratulations on 
being admitted to UIC we're excited to potentially  

00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:31.280
have you join us and hopefully we can give you 
a lot of information to help with that college  

00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:36.080
selection in college choice and we'll be kind of 
going over some of the exciting options that you  

00:00:36.080 --> 00:00:44.400
have as a pre-health student at UIC to kind of 
pursue that passion so first if you would like  

00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:52.000
you're welcome to drop in the chat what um area 
or or interest in pre-health you have if you have  

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:59.280
a major in mind you're certainly welcome to drop 
that in the chat there or if you are considering  

00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:04.000
a couple different options or if you're 
undecided undeclared don't know that's great  

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:08.320

who we are and who you're gonna be hearing from 
tonight uh so first off my name's Casey Thayer  

00:01:40.720 --> 00:01:45.840
my pronouns are he him i'm the Assistant Director 
of Recruitment and Engagement for the College of  

00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:52.000
Liberal Arts and Sciences i'll be talking a little 
bit over some of the programs that we have in LAS  

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:56.480
for you to take advantage of and i'm joined by two 
of my colleagues from two of our other colleges  

00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:01.760
Mario Diaz from the Applied Health Sciences and 
Kevin Price from the School of Public Health i'll  

00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:06.560
have them go ahead and just introduce themselves 
and and their titles and we'll go from there  

00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:12.000
hey my name is Mario Diaz i am the Assistant 
Dean for recruitment in the College of Applied  

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:18.560
Health Sciences so glad you could join us 
this evening i work um in the college that  

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:23.360
has the programs that you see listed here uh 
and you know in a few moments after Casey's  

00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:26.880
presentation i'll go ahead and go into detail 
about each one of our undergraduate programs

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.920
all right good evening everyone 
my name is Kevin Price i'm the  

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:34.400
Undergraduate Academic Advisor 
for the School of Public Health  

00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:39.200
i'll be talking a little bit about a bachelor 
of arts versus your bachelor of science degrees  

00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:43.200
and seeing you know educating you a little bit 
about what we do in the field of public health  

00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:49.120
and so as you can see with just that we 
have a wide variety of options for students  

00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:56.720
i'm seeing a lot of nursing in the chat looks 
like nursing pre-med neuroscience some pre-med  

00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:01.760
a lot of nursing occupational therapy we'll 
be able to go over and talk a little bit about  

00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:05.440
all of those different options and there might be 
a lot of options that you hadn't even considered  

00:03:05.440 --> 00:03:09.120
and didn't even know was an option so you'll 
hear about some other exciting opportunities  

00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:14.320
as well as we go through this presentation as i 
mentioned i'm from the College of Liberal Arts  

00:03:14.320 --> 00:03:18.800
and Sciences i'll talk a little bit about how 
it would work to study pre-health in our college  

00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:24.480
we're the largest college at UIC we offer over 
40 majors and minors and one thing that you won't  

00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:31.440
benefit from in this virtual meeting today is to 
get a sense of our campus we're literally in the  

00:03:31.440 --> 00:03:36.560
shadow of downtown chicago so you can see in this 
picture here our campus is in the foreground and  

00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:41.680
you can see downtown chicago in the background so 
we're very well located uh for students that want  

00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:48.000
to take advantage of access to the city or quick 
to stops on the train away from downtown chicago  

00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:53.360
we have a lot of students who take classes and 
then might go downtown for an internship or or  

00:03:53.360 --> 00:04:00.240
volunteering or shadowing experience then come 
back for classes we're also located just here our  

00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:06.640
east campus is located just east of the Illinois 
medical district so you have a lot of different  

00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:12.320
opportunities that i know mario will talk a little 
bit about when he pops in for doing some shadowing  

00:04:12.320 --> 00:04:19.520
which regardless of what pre-health goal that 
you have in mind will be super helpful as you're  

00:04:19.520 --> 00:04:23.760
preparing those applications if you're considering 
that graduate level or professional level  

00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:31.040
application materials when you complete that 
undergraduate degree so to break down a little bit  

00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:36.480
about how this works there's a lot of confusion 
over what it means to study pre-health what it  

00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:42.160
would mean to pursue something like medicine or 
nursing or occupational therapy and what would  

00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:48.800
be your actual major when you start here at um 
at uic and so to kind of explain how this breaks  

00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:52.960
down this is a little chart that shows some of 
the options that you have we have a number of  

00:04:52.960 --> 00:04:58.560
different bachelor's level programs so programs 
that students can complete at the bachelor's level  

00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:03.440
thank you there Mario for popping that into the 
chat you've got a link there if you want to check  

00:05:03.440 --> 00:05:09.680
out some of the the admissions requirements for 
the nursing program so students can pursue nursing  

00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:14.960
at both the bachelor's or the graduate level we 
also have undergraduate degrees in public health  

00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:20.400
nutrition sciences health information management 
so students can complete those programs  

00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:24.800
as part of their undergraduate degree and they 
will major in those different areas and that would  

00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:29.600
be what they would complete their degree in or 
we have a number of students who are considering  

00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:34.960
those graduate or professional level programs i've 
already heard medicine or occupational therapy as  

00:05:34.960 --> 00:05:42.160
to that students here today are interested in 
pursuing but we have a wide range of graduate  

00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:46.640
level programs that we can prepare students to 
enter those different graduate or professional  

00:05:46.640 --> 00:05:51.840
level programs so how that would work is you 
can major in anything in your undergraduate  

00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:58.320
field sometimes those different professional 
programs might recommend specific majors 

00:05:58.320 --> 00:06:02.720
but in las you have those 40 different 
majors and minors you can select between  

00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:08.320
and you would complete that undergraduate major 
and then you would complete the coursework needed  

00:06:08.320 --> 00:06:13.200
to apply to these different programs and you would 
be able to apply for instance for medical school  

00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:18.320
how it works at UIC is you wouldn't come in 
majoring in medicine you would have what's  

00:06:18.320 --> 00:06:24.560
called an educational goal which would indicate 
to us and our advisors that you're in you're  

00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:31.120
interested in pursuing that graduate level program 
in medicine and then you could select any major  

00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:36.400
 that would fit or that would correspond with 
your interests and your strengths and your values  

00:06:36.960 --> 00:06:42.240
major in that complete the coursework needed to 
apply for the medical program and then you would  

00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.800
be able to apply to that specific program so i 
think there's some confusion there with students  

00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:53.840
as to whether so i want to do medicine can i major 
in medicine not directly you would still select  

00:06:53.840 --> 00:06:59.200
your specific major and then you would declare 
that educational goal for those graduate level  

00:06:59.200 --> 00:07:04.080
programs and you would work with all of the 
resources we have at uic to make sure you're  

00:07:04.080 --> 00:07:10.000
prepared for that next step um questions i'll 
just pause there quick if anyone has questions on  

00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:18.400
that be cognizant of my time as well but 
one of the benefits for students in las  

00:07:18.400 --> 00:07:24.480
if you're thinking about that pre-health in that 
graduate level program given how many majors and  

00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:30.080
minors we offer there's wide flexibility in what 
students can study i heard i saw somebody listed  

00:07:30.080 --> 00:07:34.320
neuroscience is something they're interested in 
that could be something you would study in las  

00:07:34.320 --> 00:07:39.600
but we have students who major in minor 
in multiple different areas even though  

00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:45.840
they're thinking about that that medical  
pursuing that medical degree post-graduation 

00:07:45.840 --> 00:07:52.400
and one i would highlight sonia gupta who is a 
student in LAS who majored in biological sciences  

00:07:52.400 --> 00:07:58.800
but then pursued a minor in russian uh studies and 
uh because she had taken the russian language as  

00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:03.920
part of her degree program here in LAS liked 
it really felt an affinity for it and talks  

00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:08.960
very compellingly i was just talking with her a 
couple of weeks ago about how that helped round  

00:08:08.960 --> 00:08:14.480
out for her application and prepare her for 
that that next level and make her competitive  

00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:20.720
um she also was just named as a rhodes scholar 
finalist which is a fairly big deal um as well  

00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:27.280
we've had two of those in las recently um and so 
that that's i think one of the benefits of lis  

00:08:27.280 --> 00:08:33.840
in addition to just the the range that students 
have you are given a lot of support here in lis  

00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:38.880
uh all students when they're admitted to 
lis will be assigned a general or cohort  

00:08:38.880 --> 00:08:44.160
academic advisor and that academic advisor follows 
you from day one to graduation and will help  

00:08:44.160 --> 00:08:48.560
you as you're planning out your courses will 
help you connect you to resources and connect  

00:08:48.560 --> 00:08:53.840
you to opportunities here at UIC so that you can 
make the best use of your undergraduate degree  

00:08:54.640 --> 00:09:00.320
in addition when you select that major you'll also 
have a departmental advisor who will assist just  

00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:04.800
specifically with those major courses to make sure 
that you have all of the major courses completed  

00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:10.320
in the timeline that you've set for yourself to 
finish up that undergraduate degree the benefit  

00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:16.400
of having that that specific departmental advisor 
is that they are specialists in that that specific  

00:09:16.400 --> 00:09:22.160
major and they will be able to help better connect 
you with research opportunities which is something  

00:09:22.160 --> 00:09:26.560
that UIC is particularly strong in allowing 
you to pursue some undergraduate research  

00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:32.000
and any kind of shadowing volunteer work 
opportunities related to your specific  

00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:36.080
major in addition to that if you have 
that educational goal declared and  

00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:40.960
you're considering that graduate level um 
or even an undergraduate level like nursing  

00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:47.120
you will be assigned a pre-health advisor 
those advisors they're really tailored and  

00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:51.520
they'll help you in a number of different ways to 
make sure that you're ready for that next step and  

00:09:51.520 --> 00:09:56.480
in specific they first will help make sure that 
you have all the prerequisite courses needed  

00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:03.040
to apply to those graduate level programs or in 
the case of nursing to apply to the bsn in nursing  

00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:07.840
or and they will also talk about other options 
so they might bring up different options that  

00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:14.240
you're not even aware of if you're if you express 
an interest in a specific kind of healthcare work  

00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:20.080
they might be able to suggest a major or a path 
that will fit with those interests they will help  

00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:25.520
you with any kind of prep for tests that you need 
to take in order to apply to those programs they  

00:10:25.520 --> 00:10:29.760
will help you secure letters recommendation they 
will help you with personal statements they will  

00:10:29.760 --> 00:10:34.560
help you find volunteer experience so they're 
really i think integral in the success of the  

00:10:34.560 --> 00:10:39.520
students that we've had who've moved on to those 
graduate level programs because they are able to  

00:10:39.520 --> 00:10:44.480
do everything to help with that process and their 
experts in their different fields and can really  

00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:50.800
kind of break down the numbers for you as to what 
programs are going to be a best fit given your  

00:10:50.800 --> 00:10:56.400
program in your area of study and so i think 
a lot of students at this stage want to think  

00:10:56.400 --> 00:11:01.280
about what's going to make a successful candidate 
for these different programs that they're pursuing  

00:11:02.160 --> 00:11:09.200
and a couple of things that we've identified that 
would be metrics by which you might want to kind  

00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:16.000
of judge the effectiveness of your program first 
having that strong academic background uic uh the  

00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:21.120
science courses and the collateral courses needed 
for those programs are very well respected and  

00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:28.080
very rigorous preparation for those those graduate 
level programs we also have brand new biological  

00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:32.800
sciences and chemistry labs that were just 
recently renovated so you really do get a strong  

00:11:32.800 --> 00:11:38.400
foundation in the coursework here at uic having 
those outside of classroom experiences so not just  

00:11:38.400 --> 00:11:44.160
getting that 4.0 but also having the volunteer 
shadowing as i mentioned being so close to chicago  

00:11:44.160 --> 00:11:48.880
downtown and the illinois medical district 
students have a lot of different opportunities  

00:11:48.880 --> 00:11:54.000
to get that volunteer experience which in many 
of the different programs really helps make your  

00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:58.880
application competitive having good critical 
thinking skills students get the opportunity to do  

00:11:58.880 --> 00:12:04.080
study abroad undergraduate research they get the 
opportunity to engage in a variety of different  

00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:09.680
courses in las which ultimately will make you 
well-rounded and will make you very competitive  

00:12:09.680 --> 00:12:13.280
as you're thinking about that next step 
so i think those are some of the benefits  

00:12:13.280 --> 00:12:18.160
uh as you're considering and weighing those 
final options uh and where you might enroll  

00:12:18.160 --> 00:12:23.840
in the fall those are some of the things that i 
think set uic and las and specific apart and some  

00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:29.520
of the benefits that it can offer students but i'm 
going to go ahead and step aside so that i can let  

00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:37.840
mario jump in and if you need any more information 
you can reach out to us at las info uic.edu um  

00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:42.960
and we'll i'll uh i'll go ahead and address some 
of those questions individually in the chat if  

00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:51.840
we if any come through so go ahead Mario hey uh 
thank you Casey you go ahead to the next slide

00:12:52.800 --> 00:12:57.040
again my name is Mario Diaz i am the assistant 
dean for recruitment in the college of applied  

00:12:57.040 --> 00:13:03.280
health sciences we are one of 16 colleges 
at the university of illinois at chicago  

00:13:03.280 --> 00:13:06.480
we are the fourth largest college you 
just heard from casey with liberal arts  

00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:12.400
and sciences they are the largest we have the 
fourth largest college we have classes both  

00:13:12.400 --> 00:13:17.920
on the east side of campus and the west side which 
is really important for us because we are the  

00:13:17.920 --> 00:13:21.840
heart of the medical district and the west side 
you heard casey mentioned that earlier but the  

00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:26.240
west side of campus is where we have our graduate 
programs and our professional programs and we  

00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:33.840
have four major hospitals there within walking 
distance rush uic hospitals georgia and the va  

00:13:34.560 --> 00:13:40.320
we also have over 40 clinics in that area and 
so really important for students who um are  

00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:44.800
interested in health care have proximity to these 
facilities so we're very proud of the fact that  

00:13:44.800 --> 00:13:51.680
we offer classes in that space we are a college 
of scholars practitioners educators researchers  

00:13:52.800 --> 00:13:56.160
who view health more than the absence 
of illness disease or disability  

00:13:56.880 --> 00:14:01.840
our in our community of scholars and practitioners 
and advocates we work to break down barriers  

00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:06.320
that prevent access to health and wellness so all 
individuals can lead healthy and self-determined  

00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:09.680
lives and i'll show you some examples of how 
we do that in the next few slides go ahead

00:14:13.920 --> 00:14:17.360
here are our programs in the cadre of 
pet health sciences here you'll see  

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:22.320
all of our our departments um 
and this consists of 29 degrees  

00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:28.400
so we offer 29 degrees and certificates in the 
college and here you'll see we have the first one  

00:14:28.400 --> 00:14:33.920
is biomedical and health information sciences this 
is where our undergrad program our him program is  

00:14:34.560 --> 00:14:39.920
we also have disability and human development we 
have the department of kinesiology and nutrition  

00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:46.160
we have our professional program occupational 
therapy and our physical therapy program and  

00:14:46.160 --> 00:14:49.920
then we also have a program in rehabilitation 
sciences and in the next few slides i'm going to  

00:14:49.920 --> 00:14:54.800
go over each one of the undergraduate programs in 
more detail i won't spend a lot of time on ot or  

00:14:54.800 --> 00:14:59.600
occupational therapy or pt which is our physical 
therapy program because they are graduate programs  

00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:03.840
or professional programs and you are all you 
are coming in as undergraduate students i can  

00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:08.000
certainly answer any questions it's important to 
know that the students who are pursuing like casey  

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:13.360
mentioned earlier pursuing or have an educational 
goal of medicine or physical therapy or

00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:21.360
any any doctorate level program any one of these 
programs and that you're going to hear about today  

00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:25.280
in liberal arts and sciences and applied health 
sciences and in the school of public health  

00:15:25.280 --> 00:15:28.800
can be a good fit for you to 
pursue these um opportunities  

00:15:28.800 --> 00:15:32.960
these professional or these educational goals 
of being a doctor or a physical therapist or  

00:15:33.920 --> 00:15:38.320
a dentist what's important is that 
the program is a good fit for you  

00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:41.440
and so we're going to discuss some of 
the some of these programs in our college  

00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:45.280
and then certainly you hear from the school 
of public health and about their programs  

00:15:45.280 --> 00:15:48.560
but it really is about the best what's the 
best fit for you and we can talk a little more  

00:15:48.560 --> 00:15:55.200
about that at the end of my our presentation our 
combined presentation uh go ahead please so the  

00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:59.360
first program is disability and human development 
it's an undergraduate program in our college  

00:15:59.920 --> 00:16:05.280
uh focuses on lives and centers on the lives of 
people with disabilities and how they interact in  

00:16:05.280 --> 00:16:11.360
the world around them now this program um teaches 
students how to think critically about how social  

00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:16.240
historical political and economic context 
shape the lives of people with disabilities  

00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:21.680
our students learn how to advocate for people with 
disabilities and address and understand barriers  

00:16:21.680 --> 00:16:28.720
that they face um lots of students in this program 
want to do work in advocacy and education um and  

00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:35.040
and health care and law so it's a really neat 
program that that centers on the lives of people  

00:16:35.040 --> 00:16:38.800
with disabilities next to that you're going 
to see our other undergraduate program called  

00:16:38.800 --> 00:16:44.240
health information management or him which is a 
really neat program that allows students to work  

00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:49.120
in healthcare but not necessarily with patients 
right so these students will work more with nurses  

00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:55.200
with doctors healthcare practitioners hospital 
administrators and even insurance and law offices  

00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:02.000
protecting data patient data that is 
vital to provide providing quality care  

00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:06.240
so our students learn from science 
information technology and business  

00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:11.120
to ensure the confidentiality of patient records 
again it's a great program for students who know  

00:17:11.120 --> 00:17:17.200
they want a career in health but not necessarily 
working with students with patients next we'll see  

00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:22.080
rehabilitation sciences which is a system of care 
designed to help individuals regain some abilities  

00:17:22.080 --> 00:17:28.000
that may have been lost as a result of an illness 
or a disease or a side effect of side effects of  

00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:33.200
treatment so you'll see our students learn how to 
help people regain these abilities kite whether  

00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:38.400
they're cognitive physical or mental so they can 
give back to daily life great pathway for students  

00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:45.840
who want to pursue a career in medicine or 
physical therapy or occupational therapy go ahead

00:17:47.120 --> 00:17:51.360
next you'll see nutrition science 
it is uh our food science degree  

00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:55.360
uh this program teaches uh students 
how to be nutrition literacy agents  

00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:02.560
and empower students to help individuals make 
healthy lifestyle changes our students learn to um  

00:18:04.080 --> 00:18:09.760
how healthy eating and nutrition can treat 
illness and disease now this is a great program  

00:18:09.760 --> 00:18:14.480
for students who want to pursue a career as a 
dietitian and you can do that by enrolling in  

00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:19.120
our coordinated program which is a one-year match 
program so once you graduate with a bachelor's in  

00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:24.000
nutrition you can pursue the master's or the 
coordinator program and become a registered  

00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:28.400
dietitian or you can with your bachelor's degree 
pursue a career in health and wellness working  

00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:35.120
with individuals our next program is kinesiology 
which is our movement science program students in  

00:18:35.120 --> 00:18:39.040
this program are taught to help individuals of 
all ages optimize their movement and mobility  

00:18:39.760 --> 00:18:44.240
so that they can prevent injury it is 
a great pathway towards students who  

00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:48.160
want a career again in medicine or 
in physical therapy or any other  

00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:53.680
doctor program and students in this program can 
earn several certificates that allow them to be  

00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:57.920
fitness trainer personal fitness trainer exercise 
and wellness coach strength and conditioning coach  

00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:02.240
so many different career opportunities for 
students who want to pursue either a career  

00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:09.920
in exercise and fitness or beyond in medical 
school students in the kinesiology program um  

00:19:11.760 --> 00:19:17.120
are able to leave the college with several 
credentials of economic value not just a  

00:19:17.120 --> 00:19:21.280
bachelor's degree but several certificates and 
then finally you have our undeclared program  

00:19:21.280 --> 00:19:26.240
which is for students who know they want to pursue 
a career in health but aren't sure what major yeah  

00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:31.280
so students in the undeclared program have two 
years if you're a freshman or a new student you  

00:19:31.280 --> 00:19:35.600
have two years as an undeclared student to explore 
all of our programs in the platform sciences  

00:19:35.600 --> 00:19:40.080
before you make a choice so you work closely with 
our academic advisors to help you explore each  

00:19:40.080 --> 00:19:47.440
one of our programs each one of our majors and 
then you are um guided into a program with your  

00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:52.080
academic advisor that's the best fit for you if 
you're a transfer student coming from a community  

00:19:52.080 --> 00:19:56.720
colleges or already have credits under your belt 
then you have one year um where you'll be able to  

00:19:57.280 --> 00:20:05.840
sit in the undeclared program before you are asked 
to make a choice in one of our five programs um

00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:11.200
some of the uh really cool things about our 
programs is that all students are able to immerse  

00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:16.400
themselves in the practice and what that means 
is that students are able to take the skills um  

00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:20.480
training and education they receive in the 
classroom and apply in a real world setting  

00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:24.880
by participating in experiential learning 
ways they can do that is by participating  

00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:31.040
in undergraduate research or they can serve as a 
teaching assistant to one of their faculty members  

00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:35.680
all of our students are asked to complete some 
field work hours or a practicum experience  

00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:40.240
our students are required to complete capstone 
projects and then they have the opportunity to  

00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:44.240
study abroad and all of these are excellent 
opportunities for students to apply the that  

00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:49.120
training and that education that they get in the 
classroom from their faculty member outside of  

00:20:49.120 --> 00:20:54.880
the classroom um in real life and so um again we 
mentioned the medical district and being able to  

00:20:54.880 --> 00:21:00.640
um utilize each one of these facilities or one of 
the hospitals to do research or or field work or  

00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:06.160
practicum experience it's important that we offer 
these opportunities for our students to really  

00:21:07.120 --> 00:21:10.800
see their not only their faculty at work 
or not just healthcare practitioners  

00:21:11.520 --> 00:21:15.280
but they're also instructors so i think 
it's a really neat experience for our  

00:21:15.280 --> 00:21:21.840
students to be able to take advantage of student 
engagement and experiential learning go ahead

00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:26.480
some of the resources that we have 
to offer students in the college  

00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:30.720
of applied health sciences earlier you 
heard casey talk about academic advisors  

00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:35.040
we have a great team of advisors who will 
be assigned to you and will stay with you  

00:21:35.040 --> 00:21:39.280
throughout your undergraduate career to ensure 
that you stay on track um help you address any  

00:21:39.280 --> 00:21:42.880
barriers that you may have and then that you 
complete your program in a timely fashion  

00:21:43.840 --> 00:21:48.320
you heard me earlier mentioned faculty who are not 
just instructors they are healthcare practitioners  

00:21:48.320 --> 00:21:53.120
in the field and you have opportunities to see 
them in the field we have a wonderful space called  

00:21:53.120 --> 00:21:57.920
the academic support and achievement program or 
asap where students can attend tutoring sessions  

00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:03.600
or study groups um they can go to workshops 
and study skills or test taking strategies  

00:22:03.600 --> 00:22:07.360
and then we have uh professional development 
opportunities out of the space as well  

00:22:07.360 --> 00:22:10.960
so it's a neat place where students can come 
and hang out and interact with peers um in a  

00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:16.960
emergency college experience by connecting with 
students who have similar interests as them what

00:22:19.840 --> 00:22:23.920
so you just heard me talk about each one of 
our programs and here i'll talk about how  

00:22:24.560 --> 00:22:27.760
our students in these programs are able 
to participate in experiential learning  

00:22:28.560 --> 00:22:31.040
and get some real hands-on 
experience first you'll see our  

00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:35.760
nutrition teaching garden which is a space on 
the west side of campus where our students can  

00:22:37.360 --> 00:22:43.280
grow and harvest their own food and then cook it 
in our experiential nutrition kitchen over there  

00:22:43.280 --> 00:22:47.440
on the west side of campus it's a great garden 
that's won numerous awards over the years and  

00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:54.880
it's a really proud to be part of that nutrition 
program that allows our students to really get  

00:22:54.880 --> 00:23:00.960
their hands um with really hands-on experience 
with the nutrition garden next you'll see a  

00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:04.960
cadaver dissection lab which is offered to our 
undergraduate students not many undergraduate  

00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:10.400
students have an opportunity to dissect on an 
actual cadaver it's really amazing to see how our  

00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:15.520
students are able to learn from a real cadaver the 
impact or the effects of illness and disease on  

00:23:15.520 --> 00:23:20.800
the human body so it's really hands-on approach to 
learning anatomy and physiology and then finally  

00:23:20.800 --> 00:23:24.160
you'll see our faculty practice clinic it's one 
of several clinics we have on the west side of  

00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:30.000
campus where our faculty members actually work 
and see patients in these clinics the faculty  

00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:36.320
practice clinic offers physical therapy services 
nutrition counseling exercise stress testing and  

00:23:36.320 --> 00:23:41.360
so much more and our students can conduct research 
volunteer or observe their faculty at work at  

00:23:41.360 --> 00:23:45.760
these clinics so great opportunities for students 
who want to pursue a career in health care  

00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:52.560
to see their faculty at work and then engage and 
participate as well and uh that might be my last  

00:23:52.560 --> 00:23:56.400
slide that sums up my presentation there 
you'll see my contact information however  

00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:59.760
i will stay on here until the end of this 
entire presentation so we can chat more if  

00:23:59.760 --> 00:24:05.440
you have any questions thank you so much casey i 
will turn it over to the school of public health  

00:24:08.080 --> 00:24:12.080
all right thank you so much everyone uh again 
my name is kevin price i'm the undergraduate  

00:24:12.080 --> 00:24:15.040
academic advisor for the school 
public health the next slide please  

00:24:17.040 --> 00:24:22.880
so i often get asked what public health is and i 
think the simplest definition especially for our  

00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:27.600
program would be that it's a very broad 
arena that works to improve and protect  

00:24:27.600 --> 00:24:32.560
the health of communities through a wide variety 
of different disciplines health education and  

00:24:32.560 --> 00:24:38.320
promotion environmental health epidemiology 
and biostatistics of policy health services  

00:24:38.320 --> 00:24:44.640
administration global health occupational health 
so worker safety emergency preparedness and dance  

00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:49.120
in disaster response and this is actually
one of the branches of public health as well  

00:24:49.760 --> 00:24:54.160
so some of the messaging that you might have 
heard about that would be coming from public  

00:24:54.160 --> 00:25:00.000
health organizations would be the importance 
of screening people for hiv aids and handling  

00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.800
that particularly during the pandemic uh 
promoting healthy lifestyles and reducing  

00:25:04.800 --> 00:25:10.640
chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart 
disease the importance of clean air water and  

00:25:11.520 --> 00:25:18.400
access to clean neighborhoods and access to cancer 
screening for women so that if they're diagnosed  

00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:28.240
with a stage of cancer it could be treatable 
in earlier stage diagnosis next slide please

00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:34.000
so worth noting is that we are different 
than clinical health in that we're focused on  

00:25:35.040 --> 00:25:41.680
prevention rather than diagnosis and treatment 
and we're also focused on the population  

00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:46.880
rather than the individual what that means for 
students is that we're thinking about holistic  

00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:48.800
approach to medicine and i 
think that's why it's a great  

00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:55.120
choice for students who are thinking about 
clinical health in that you're thinking about all  

00:25:55.120 --> 00:26:00.240
of the factors that are impacting people's health 
on a daily basis the social economic factors  

00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:06.720
the political factors the um cultural factors 
and everything else that's impacting a person  

00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:12.720
outside of what's happening internally in their 
body also medicine has given a great shift to  

00:26:13.760 --> 00:26:17.920
preventative medicine based on cost-saving 
measures and things like that too so it's really  

00:26:19.280 --> 00:26:22.640
a great foundation for those reasons for 
students who might be interested more in  

00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:26.960
the graduate or professional clinical 
health programs next slide please

00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:33.840
so we do offer several degrees in school public 
health we offer a bachelor of arts as well as  

00:26:33.840 --> 00:26:38.160
a bachelor of science i'll speak a little bit 
about how they're similar and different shortly  

00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:42.720
we also have a public health minor for 
students that may be interested in pursuing  

00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:47.200
a different major as well as several 
mph programs masters of public health  

00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:52.240
health care administration master of 
science master of science in clinical and  

00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:58.240
translational science as well as doctoral degrees 
in philosophy and public health next slide please

00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:05.600
um and one of the unique features about our 
program is that we're action learning oriented  

00:27:05.600 --> 00:27:09.760
that means that we are working to put our 
students in the field to do public health  

00:27:09.760 --> 00:27:16.160
work with public health organizations it's 
a great way to get some career experience to  

00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:22.560
get some experiences to reflect on for personal 
statements for post educational opportunities  

00:27:22.560 --> 00:27:25.920
as well as developing um skills 
and working with other people  

00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:30.640
we take a team based approach to solving 
issues much like we did in the pandemic  

00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:36.240
when we're thinking about health policy which is a 
discipline of public health working in tandem with  

00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:43.840
um community health and educating people and in 
terms of the pandemic i think that spoke to um the  

00:27:43.840 --> 00:27:48.160
importance of hand washing and social distancing 
those educational campaigns as well as mask  

00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:53.600
mandates and things and vaccine mandates those 
are the policy aspects of how we're working to

00:27:55.840 --> 00:28:01.600
reduce the effect that the pandemic was having 
on so we do a lot of work with our students  

00:28:01.600 --> 00:28:05.920
they get a lot of public health work with public 
health organizations and get that experience to  

00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:12.400
really carry with them to the next step in 
their careers or education next slide please

00:28:15.280 --> 00:28:19.600
uh one of our action learning experiences is 
called field work so this is a semester-long  

00:28:19.600 --> 00:28:25.120
experience where our students get an insight and 
choice into what organizations they're going to be  

00:28:25.120 --> 00:28:29.440
working with based on their skills and interests 
we would never tell someone who's passionate about  

00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:34.080
community health and educating people and working 
with individuals to work behind the scenes and  

00:28:34.080 --> 00:28:39.200
collect data that's just not a great use of their 
time it's not going to be although maybe some of  

00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:42.240
those skills would be useful not necessarily 
prepare them for what they want to do after  

00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:49.280
graduation so we really try to take that step and 
factor that in when we're thinking about field  

00:28:49.280 --> 00:28:54.480
work opportunities we've worked with all sorts of 
organizations and many of our students have gotten  

00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:58.560
employment opportunities based on those 
experiences as well next slide please

00:29:01.280 --> 00:29:06.320
so this is the sample pathway of many of our 
students it's not at all the extensive list i  

00:29:06.320 --> 00:29:09.840
think it just highlights some of the many things 
that you can do with the public health degree  

00:29:09.840 --> 00:29:13.280
which brings me back to the key differences 
between the bachelor of arts and bachelor of  

00:29:13.280 --> 00:29:18.000
science degrees the bachelor of arts degrees is 
more geared for students who are passionate about  

00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:22.560
the social cultural determinants of health 
who may be looking at the social sciences  

00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:26.960
in order to specialize in what area of public 
health they think they would be able to make  

00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:32.640
the biggest impact so students who are research 
specialists or the public health nutritionists  

00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:39.760
or environmental specialists on this list many 
of them took classes in the bachelor of arts to  

00:29:39.760 --> 00:29:44.080
have them uniquely qualified for these roles 
for example our sexual health specialist from  

00:29:44.080 --> 00:29:49.680
chicago public schools she took some courses 
in gender women's studies to work in lgbtq  

00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:57.520
knowledge and also worked in policy 
to now is working to revamp the  

00:29:58.160 --> 00:30:02.800
sexual education campaign in chicago public 
schools being more inclusive to lgbtq youth  

00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:10.000
our public health nutrition is my minored in human 
nutrition and also communication courses to have  

00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:15.360
them uniquely qualified to be a public health 
nutritionist advising people and educating people  

00:30:15.360 --> 00:30:21.520
on making healthier decisions for themselves 
and i can go on and on here there's literally  

00:30:21.520 --> 00:30:26.720
a book on my desk called the 101 careers in 
public health not at all an exaggeration so i  

00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:31.520
think what's exciting about our program is that 
we offer many many different specializations  

00:30:31.520 --> 00:30:35.840
for our students based on where they see 
themselves after graduation next slide please

00:30:39.840 --> 00:30:44.400
um so some of the student support and resources 
we have i meet with every student in the school  

00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:48.640
public health every semester from the time they 
matriculate into our program through graduation  

00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:54.080
to make sure that they're reading meeting their 
academic and personal goals um and putting them  

00:30:54.080 --> 00:30:58.560
in the best position to be successful we have 
specialized career services to help students  

00:30:58.560 --> 00:31:03.120
with this thinking about that next step and 
what they want to do after graduation they  

00:31:03.120 --> 00:31:08.480
help with all sorts of skills like resume reviews 
interviewing strategies help them help students  

00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:13.920
develop a linkedin profile which is a really 
important part of the career process right now  

00:31:15.120 --> 00:31:19.760
we have a student wellness coordinator who offers 
individualized services and events for students  

00:31:20.320 --> 00:31:24.560
thinking about wellness and mental health 
and how important that is for student success  

00:31:25.360 --> 00:31:27.920
we have a peer support 
services team that works with  

00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:34.320
students to develop their writing and offering 
support there as well as opportunities for  

00:31:34.320 --> 00:31:38.800
students to hone their leadership skills through 
organizations through committee work that they  

00:31:38.800 --> 00:31:46.080
can do in the school of public health and 
all sorts of different things there as well

00:31:46.080 --> 00:31:55.040
next slide please so that wraps it up for myself 
um you can reach us at baph@uic.edu or find  

00:31:55.040 --> 00:32:00.800
information on our website publichealth.uic.edu 
i think on behalf of everyone i thank you all  

00:32:00.800 --> 00:32:04.080
for attending but i think we'll stick around 
for a few minutes if people have questions  

00:32:05.280 --> 00:32:09.200
yeah we'll definitely be happy to take questions 
and one thing i'll just say to kind of jump on  

00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:14.080
that end of um kevin was saying there one of the 
questions that that came up a couple times in  

00:32:14.080 --> 00:32:19.280
the chat that i'll just address here is um what 
to major in if you're thinking about these uh  

00:32:19.280 --> 00:32:25.680
professional graduate level programs uh and so to 
try to again clarify there there will be a certain  

00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:31.920
core level of collateral coursework you will 
need to complete to apply to medical school or  

00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:38.560
dentistry school that will um that will mainly 
be your general chemistry your general biology  

00:32:39.360 --> 00:32:44.800
organic chemistry potentially a math course 
depending on the program and then some other  

00:32:44.800 --> 00:32:49.760
various courses like physics maybe an advanced 
bios course and that's it in order to apply  

00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:55.440
to those programs so students can select any 
major and i think that's why we like to do this  

00:32:55.440 --> 00:33:01.760
presentation bringing together all of these three 
different colleges because you could potentially  

00:33:01.760 --> 00:33:06.400
do something like public health if that's an 
interest for you while still preparing yourself  

00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:13.200
for that next step of medical school so you can 
really major in any of those different uh majors  

00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:18.720
that sound interesting and i would argue that it 
really makes a lot of sense to major in something  

00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:23.520
that you will do well in that place to your 
strengths your skills so that you can really get  

00:33:23.520 --> 00:33:28.560
your high gpa in those courses for your major and 
then focus on some of those courses that might not  

00:33:28.560 --> 00:33:33.840
be as big of a strength i mean organic chemistry 
is not usually a strength for many many people  

00:33:33.840 --> 00:33:38.400
but that would allow you to focus then on those 
collateral courses needed for those professional  

00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:43.920
programs and would really help you be successful 
there but as Kevin said we're happy to to hang out  

00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:47.520
for a little bit and address any other questions 
you can either drop them in the chat or if you  

00:33:47.520 --> 00:33:52.800
want to jump in you can go ahead and send us those 
questions otherwise you're more than welcome to  

00:33:52.800 --> 00:33:57.120
reach out we'll go ahead and drop our contact 
information in the chat here one more time if you  

00:33:57.120 --> 00:34:05.840
need it otherwise you're always welcome to help or 
to reach out by email if that would be preferred

00:34:08.640 --> 00:34:12.080
hello uh hi um i see there are two  

00:34:12.640 --> 00:34:19.840
courses within public health ba and bs what's 
the difference between those two majors

00:34:21.280 --> 00:34:25.360
great question so the bachelor of arts is geared 
for students who are interested in the social  

00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:31.200
cultural determinants of health um the key 
difference there is in our specializations  

00:34:31.200 --> 00:34:37.280
so in our program we have what we call a focus 
area so our students can specialize in area  

00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:42.400
public health based on their interests and um 
in the bachelor of science those are going to be  

00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:48.160
chemistry courses epidemiology courses biology 
courses mostly geared for students that are  

00:34:48.160 --> 00:34:53.360
looking for a deeper understanding of the applied 
sciences that's a great route for students who may  

00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:58.080
be interested in pre-medicine or epidemiology 
or pharmacy or something to that degree  

00:34:59.040 --> 00:35:02.880
students who may be more interested in working 
with people and looking at the social cultural  

00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:07.520
factors of things would be better suited for 
the bachelor of arts where they can choose for  

00:35:07.520 --> 00:35:12.720
classes in their specialization like sociology 
to develop cultural competency public policy  

00:35:12.720 --> 00:35:17.760
to be able to speak to health policy and making 
that more inclusive and making sure that we're  

00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:23.760
eliminating health barriers when possible thank 
you and at what point actually student will  

00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:28.960
have to select these things at the beginning 
itself or so i work with them every semester  

00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:33.760
um students have plenty of opportunities within 
the first four semesters to change their mind  

00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:39.760
and their trajectory but generally speaking you 
know we ask we think that students could have a  

00:35:41.280 --> 00:35:47.600
an idea of that by the end of their 
sophomore year okay thank you thank you  

00:35:49.040 --> 00:35:52.880
mario i saw we had a question about rehab 
sciences i don't know if you wanted to jump in  

00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:59.120
i i just actually sent her the information via 
yeah it's a bs measures of science in rehab  

00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:08.800
we had a question about an md medical 
degree versus doing that as part of a  

00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:14.240
study abroad program so we do have study abroad 
for undergraduate students and many students do  

00:36:14.240 --> 00:36:18.080
receive credit for coursework 
for their study abroad program  

00:36:18.080 --> 00:36:23.040
and in many times it's even applicable to 
their specific major i i don't know about  

00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:28.160
pursuing an md overseas if that's 
the question post undergraduate  

00:36:28.160 --> 00:36:33.840
uh um but our pre-health advisors uh would be 
more than happy to talk with your talk with  

00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:39.840
you about your options for that next step uh once 
you're getting close to the process of applying um  

00:36:41.040 --> 00:36:46.880
yeah and we had a question about what college best 
prepares students who are interested in surgery  

00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:51.120
um we would probably all say our colleges are 
the best for preparation but really i think  

00:36:51.120 --> 00:36:56.560
the answer would be that you won't uh well 
and mario does point out that they have the  

00:36:56.560 --> 00:37:00.960
cadaver lab so there is some opportunity to get 
that direct experience and i think that's where  

00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:05.440
knowing about these different programs could be 
of benefit but whatever professional program that  

00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:10.240
you enter you'll be getting retrained uh and 
they will be giving you all of the information  

00:37:10.240 --> 00:37:15.520
and the coursework and the the training necessary 
and the competencies necessary to pursue  

00:37:15.520 --> 00:37:20.720
uh that career so with your undergraduate degree 
what regardless of whatever college you're in  

00:37:20.720 --> 00:37:24.960
you're to get that foundation and that's 
what you're going to hopefully build  

00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:31.760
at uic and then you'll be trained in that 
professional level yeah to Casey's point  

00:37:32.560 --> 00:37:35.760
that's probably the million dollar question 
that everybody asked whenever we have these  

00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:40.640
presentations whether they're a person or they're 
virtual and i wish there was one major that could  

00:37:40.640 --> 00:37:44.720
say you have to do this so that you can go into 
medicine so you can become a doctor or sergeant  

00:37:44.720 --> 00:37:50.560
pediatrician but the reality is there isn't it 
could be anything you want what's important is  

00:37:50.560 --> 00:37:54.320
it's something you're passionate about something 
that you are interested in and something that  

00:37:55.200 --> 00:37:59.120
you really make an educated choice on because 
as long as you have the prerequisites for the  

00:37:59.120 --> 00:38:04.720
college of medicine or dentistry or pharmacy or 
and so on and so forth you can really pick any  

00:38:04.720 --> 00:38:09.280
major as long as it's you knock out all those 
prerequisites during your undergraduate career

00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:16.160
obviously if you major in biological 
sciences there's an opportunity to  

00:38:16.160 --> 00:38:18.880
take a lot of biology prerequisites the 
time the way it's part of the curriculum  

00:38:19.520 --> 00:38:26.720
um so you may not have to delay your your entry 
into a professional program um if if you pick a  

00:38:26.720 --> 00:38:30.960
major that doesn't have any science requirements 
for example but it really is what's what's  

00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:36.560
important to you and what are you passionate about 
and you don't have to know right now a pre-health  

00:38:36.560 --> 00:38:40.480
advisor your academic advisors your college 
advisors are going to work with you on this  

00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:45.840
um so i wouldn't you know say you have to make 
a decision right now what major you're going to  

00:38:45.840 --> 00:38:49.840
pick um you you know you that's what the advisors 
are there for they're going to help you with this  

00:38:51.040 --> 00:38:55.200
and that's one benefit of uic that 
you have these multiple colleges  

00:38:55.200 --> 00:38:59.840
you can come in to LAS or you can come into 
public health and you have the ability to  

00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:05.120
do an inner college transfer to a different 
college at uic so you have the ability to  

00:39:05.120 --> 00:39:09.200
come in get your feet wet start to explore 
and then as you're thinking about what's  

00:39:09.200 --> 00:39:14.400
going to be your passion i think that's one 
great benefit uic is a very large institution  

00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:18.880
there's a lot of resources opportunities 
for students by virtue of coming to uic  

00:39:18.880 --> 00:39:24.000
though at an affordable price and i think you've 
heard about some of those good options tonight  

00:39:25.040 --> 00:39:30.080
yeah if there are other questions you're certainly 
welcome to ask them otherwise you can uh we will  

00:39:30.080 --> 00:39:35.840
um have this recording available on our uic-bound 
website if you need to revisit anything you have  

00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:41.680
our contact information so you're more than 
welcome to reach out so i'll go ahead and stop
