Advisors and professors are eager to talk to you about incorporating these types of experiences into your education. We also encourage students to get connected with a <a href=\"\/career-services\/appointments\">UW Bothell Career Advisor<\/a> to learn more about gaining professional experience and defining your career goals. A few examples of co-curricular opportunities are listed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fieldwork<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the Health Studies major, students are required to complete BHS 496 (Fieldwork in Health) during their final year. Fieldwork complements core Health Studies courses by offering students a population-level and community-based scholarly orientation and knowledge base to understand health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more by visiting the <a href=\"\/nhs\/undergraduate\/health-studies\/careers\/fieldwork\">Fieldwork webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Health Educators Reaching Out (HEROs)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The HEROs are UW Bothell\u2019s Peer Health Educators connected to the Health &amp; Wellness Resource Center on campus. HEROs use research to inform their workshops and events on health issues relevant to UW Bothell and Cascadia College students. HEROs collaborate as a team and with other departments to create inclusive and diverse programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more by visiting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/student-affairs\/hawrc\/health-education-programs\">HEROs webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Undergraduate research &amp; mentorship<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider exploring your academic interests with a professor, through conducting your very own research or independent study project. Research projects not only help develop your interests, but they also look great on a resume and impressive for graduate school. In addition, they can lead to scholarship opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more by visiting the <a href=\"\/connected-learning\/undergraduate-research\">Office of Connected Learning webpage<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/uwbur\/\">UW Bothell Research Database webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Internships<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An internship provides students an opportunity to &#8220;test the waters&#8221; and gain hands-on experience in a career. Health Studies students have an internship-like experience embedded into their major with BHS 496 (Fieldwork in Health). However, you can incorporate additional experiences into your undergraduate education beyond BHS 496. There are a variety of resources to get further internship experiences. Consider talking to <a href=\"\/nhs\/people\">Health Studies faculty<\/a>, the <a href=\"\/connected-learning\/celr\">Community-Engaged Learning &amp; Research Office<\/a>, and <a href=\"\/career-services\">Career Services<\/a> for opportunities that fit your interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more by visiting the <a href=\"\/career-services\/jobs-and-internships\">Career Services&#8217; Internship webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Student organizations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Joining a student organization is a great way to get involved on campus. You can connect with other students who share similar interests and gain valuable leadership experience. There are a variety of health-related clubs at UW Bothell, such as the Health Studies Student Association, the Biology Club, the Pre-Med Club, the Pre-Dental Club, the Pre-PA Club, and the Helping Hands Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more by visiting the <a href=\"https:\/\/uwb.presence.ihttps:\/\/gather.uwb.edu\/home_login\">UW Bothell Clubs webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>June 2023<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Health Studies graduates are ready to enter a wide variety of occupations and are prepared for graduate school or other advanced professional training in healthcare and public health.
