As a bachelor’s program student at OU Health Sciences, I spent my first two years of college in Norman and my last two at the OU Health Sciences Campus. I love the College of Allied Health because there are 19 different programs within one college. Being at the HSC has allowed me to form important interprofessional relationships with graduate and professional students, which is an incredibly unique and valuable experience to have as an undergraduate. These mentors, along with the support from faculty, will be very beneficial when it is time for me to navigate graduate school applications and externships."
