Galen Health Fellows

The health care field is rapidly changing and we are in a unique position to help you gain the expertise you need to succeed -- and lead.

An Interdisciplinary Experience

In a world with increasingly complex health issues, it is essential for contemporary healthcare professionals to have a regional and global understanding of health, an expert understanding of the social determinants of health and the skills to communicate messages effectively to different audiences.

Since many of us take the same classes, we can study together and help each other reach our goals. Patterson Hall is in the center of campus, so residents can easily reach almost every activity USC has to offer. Galen Health Fellows is exemplary because the faculty and community share ideas and encourage us to develop our character as students.

Moreover, they will give you a strategic advantage when you’re applying for graduate school or moving directly into the work force.
