Contemporary healthcare increasingly considers patients within an ecological framework. This perspective can focus on an individual as a complex system - a person hosting countless microorganisms on their skin, in their digestive tract, and throughout their bodily systems. Alternatively, it may encompass the patient within their broader living environment, accounting for disease carriers (like mosquitoes) or exposure to environmental pollutants. The Pre-Health specialization in a Bachelor of Science in Ecology program provides aspiring medical, dental, and veterinary students with a comprehensive, interdisciplinary understanding of health-related challenges.
