Career Support

Starting the BS program at National University allows you to engage with students and faculty from the first professional degrees in Chiropractic Medicine, Naturopathic Medicine, and Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. This early exposure equips students to collaborate in a healthcare setting alongside various medical professionals. Additionally, you will be well-prepared to pursue advanced degrees, setting you on the path to becoming a medical doctor, physician assistant, optometrist, dentist, nurse, or other healthcare professional. 

The science-oriented facilities at NUHS will enhance your career in numerous ways. You can study cadavers in our gross anatomy lab, work with the Anatomage Table, and engage with cutting-edge technology in the biochemistry lab, all of which prepare you for a future in healthcare. As a graduate medical school, National University provides graduate-level faculty and facilities for students in the Biomedical Sciences program. Learn from professors and instructors who are experts in their fields, often holding the highest degree in their area of expertise. 

Alumni Ambassadors are former National University students who continue to take their leadership role to heart once in the professional world. They contribute their time, and share their experiences and expertise to assistant current students.

Shadow opportunities are one of the most impactful ways our Ambassadors support current students. National University students are invited to join alums in their practices, giving them a unique hands-on perspective and a personal opportunity to observe and learn. Learn about one student’s impactful job shadowing experience.

It may come as a surprise that Homecoming is not just for alumni!

One of the most sought-after programs at National University Homecoming events is the mentor panels. This is where current students interact with alumni to learn from their experiences as practitioners and former students. Building a practice, managing patient care, and staying current professionally are only a few of the valuable topics covered.

National University has numerous professional and academic student organizations that often host guest speakers, technique practice sessions, professional development seminars, and more. Participation in one or more such groups not only helps you stay abreast of topics in your future field, but will help you network with professionals and build lifelong connections.
