Careers in Biobehavioral Health

Interested in pursuing a career as a healthcare provider? The skills and knowledge that you gain in the BBH program provide a great foundation for graduate school, medical school, or other health profession programs. With additional graduate-level training and licensure, you may work as a medical doctor, a physician’s assistant, a nurse, a physical therapist, or an occupational therapist.

This program may be right for those interested in working in research or as a government employee with organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or a state health department. In these fields, you may help identify health concerns facing a population or conduct research on how an epidemic can be averted.

For those interested in the social aspect of health, you may work for a service organization that bring health awareness and best practices to light for others. You may also work to influence policy and public opinion on health issues.

If you are interested in helping companies keep their employees healthy, you may work for a corporation to deliver health promotion and intervention programs to support employee wellness. Or you may help advocate for patients within a health system or health plan.
