In my education at OSU, I have pursued a BioHealth Sciences degree and a Pre-Physician Assistant option where I took courses involving anatomy, physiology, biology and chemistry labs, biochemistry, organic chemistry, immunology, medical terminology, general pathology, mechanisms of disease, and many more courses relating to the healthcare field as a whole. As a student I experienced learning from well experienced professors active in the healthcare field, collaborated with fellow students while completing group projects and within laboratory courses, and learned to apply medical and health knowledge to both my personal life and the lessons I've learned while working as a caregiver and medication tech.
