If you're interested in providing diagnostic, therapeutic, rehabilitative or other patient care and health support services to the public, you'll want to consider the preprofessional allied health programs offered at Indiana University Kokomo. These range from paramedical services to respiratory and physical therapy to radiography, medical technology, and cytotechnology. As our population lives longer, and people are exposed to increasing environmental and physical risks, the need for allied health professionals continues to grow at a rapid pace. Program requirements for all of IUK's preprofessional programs in allied health vary with each field.
Enrollments are limited and entry is highly competitive.
What You'll Study - Anatomy, Biology, Analytical Chemistry, Biological Chemistry, Genetics, Hematology, Humans and Microorganisms, Immunology, Microbiology, Mycology, Human Physiology, Parasitology, Serology, lmmunohematology. As a general rule, a college major does not prepare you for one specific job, but rather it enables you to develop skills and abilities that can be applied to a broad range of occupations. In allied health sciences, however, you'll be very specifically prepared for a particular area of health care. Additionally, once students have obtained degrees in these fields, they often move on to graduate studies in other areas associated with health care. As you progress toward your educational and professional goals, IUK's Office of Career Services, located in the Kelley Student Center, can assist you with aptitude and interest assessments and help you prepare for the job search and interview process.
