Other Options

There are many career choices within the field of health if you choose not to attend medical school. There are, for example, programs for Physicians' Assistants, Radiology, X-ray technicians, physical therapists, and others. (Pittsburg State has a baccalaureate nursing program, a graduate nursing program that includes a nurse practitioner curriculum, a medical technology program, and participates in a pre-physical therapy program offered through the University of Kansas)

If you decide you are more interested in scientific research than in practicing medicine, you may be interested in a Ph.D. program in molecular biology, biochemistry, neurobiology, microbiology, biophysics, radiation physics, health physics, biochemical engineering, or other basic medical science areas.
