🩺 Career Pathways

From biology classes to meaningful careers — explore the paths available to students of science and health.

Health Science Careers

🏥
Nursing (RN/BSN)

One of the most impactful and in-demand health careers. Biology and A&P are foundational prerequisites. ADN programs at community colleges (like SBVC) offer accessible entry points.

Key subjects: A&P I & IIMicrobiologyChemistry
🩺
Medicine (MD/DO)

Requires a strong foundation in biology, chemistry, and anatomy. Pre-med students build their scientific toolkit in courses like the ones Dr. Sobhanian teaches.

Key subjects: BiologyOrganic ChemistryA&P
🔬
Biomedical Research

Scientists who study disease mechanisms, develop treatments, and advance medical knowledge. Requires advanced degrees but begins with strong undergraduate biology.

Key subjects: Cell BiologyGeneticsBiochemistry
🧬
Genetic Counseling

An emerging field helping patients understand genetic conditions and risks. Combines biology with psychology and communication skills.

Key subjects: GeneticsBiologyStatistics
🌍
Public Health

Addressing health disparities, disease prevention, and community wellness at a population level — deeply aligned with the Breeze of Joy Foundation's mission.

Key subjects: EpidemiologyBiologyStatistics
💊
Pharmacy (PharmD)

Pharmacists counsel patients on medications and work in clinical, research, and retail settings. Prerequisites overlap heavily with nursing and pre-med.
