Video: Nontraditional Career Paths in Science/Medicine
Learn more about nontraditional career paths in science, such as paths in public health, medicine beyond practicing in a hospital, and pharmaceuticals.
An Arts & Sciences Education can lead to anything. That opportunity can be powerful, but also overwhelming. This conversation is a part of a series of alumni panels featuring speakers from different majors and industries with atypical paths after they graduated from Northwestern.
This panel features alumni with nontraditional career paths in science, such as paths in public health, medicine beyond practicing in a hospital, and pharmaceuticals. Alumni share stories about their student experiences, how they decided what they wanted to do right after undergrad, and more about what they do today.
The introductions from the beginning of the panel were lost due to a technical issue, but we were able to recover the majority of the panel discussion and we are excited to share that with you.
