Eastern’s Health Sciences program has provided me the foundation that I needed, not only in human anatomy and physiology, but also in the functions of healthcare. Eastern has helped me become a well-rounded student, and prepared me to step into the widely competitive and professional health industry as I begin a Doctor of Physical Therapy graduate program.
