From the start of your studies, you'll explore various medical fields taught by practicing healthcare experts. Coursework and volunteer opportunities allow you to discover your strengths and passions, with faculty and advisors offering career guidance in healthcare. By taking required classes and electives like psychology, nutrition, genetics, and public health, you'll meet professional program requirements while exploring academic interests and career options.
At Jefferson, you'll acquire practical experience through mandatory volunteer patient interactions integrated into your studies. This undergraduate clinical exposure, part of our distinctive Nexus learning approach, prepares you for advanced studies or healthcare professions. Our prime Philadelphia location provides access to numerous medical institutions, enabling students to gain exceptional experience through university partnerships with hospitals, clinics, and care facilities. Additionally, you can develop a worldwide healthcare perspective through annual medical mission trips with Global Medical Brigades - an experience that distinguishes Jefferson graduates. Students have traveled to locations from Central America to Africa, conducting patient assessments, assisting with medication distribution under pharmacist supervision, and supporting medical teams during week-long service trips.
