The mission of the Health Sciences Program is to assist Hanover College students in becoming knowledgeable, competitive applicants to medical, professional, and graduate school programs in the health professions. We accomplish this through providing students with pertinent information, preparation, and experience.
HSP students have the opportunity to gain valuable clinical shadowing experience through the Medical Scholars Externship - available in Physician, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Optometry, Dentistry, and Public Health tracks. They also have the opportunity to gain direct patient contact hours as a certified nursing assistant after gaining certification through Hanover's May term CNA Prep class, a joint endeavor with the Madison Ivy Tech.
