Health Professions

The strength of a liberal arts-based core curriculum with advanced research opportunities and specialized coursework make Baldwin-Wallace College an outstanding place to prepare for a career in medicine.

B-W's liberal arts core helps students master the skills of communication, critical thinking and problem solving necessary to succeed in a constantly changing health care environment. Advanced coursework, internships and research opportunities build the skills and knowledge necessary for graduate and professional education.

What Do Physicians Do?

Medicine is one of the most diverse of all professions. Physicians are the principal providers of health care, either by working directly with patients or by working in clinical or research laboratories. As technologies progress, new sub-specialties are being developed, and even traditional areas of medicine require continuing medical education.

Program Description

Baldwin-Wallace College offers an excellent foundation for successful entrance into medical school. The most important part of this educational groundwork is the exposure to a widely diverse set of disciplines.
