Health care, and all its branches, will continue to increase in importance and scope for our population. Join a field that combines the study of clinical, psycho-social, organizational, and societal aspects of health, disease, and health care.
Study the use of technology in health care, behavioral and organizational interventions, and use that knowledge to improve health and patient centered care and quality of life. You’ll learn how providers, allied healthcare professionals and medical support staff critically think, manage multiple tasks, conduct research, and apply practical skills in various healthcare settings.

Students are generally placed at Tiffin Mercy Hospital or at local Physical Therapy and Chiropractic clinics. Students have the choice to complete their internship over the summer if they want to work close to home. Heidelberg students have worked internships with Nationwide Children's Hospital, the Cleveland Clinic, and Akron's Children's hospital.
Our students say the best part of Heidelberg is working with their professors. Every professor in this department is a practicing clinician.
