[nabs-l] a college/career question

[Arielle Silverman]

Hi Lillie,

I haven't done any of those exact majors, but instead I majored in
something called Biology and Society. This combined a basic bio degree
with courses about the philosophy of science and the impact of science
on society. For example, I took bioethics, a class about healthcare
policy and resource allocation, a class on the history of medicine,
and a class that integrated biosciences with anthropology. This might
be interesting for you. The program was at Arizona State University
but there might be similar programs at other schools. Another option
is to get a master's degree in medical sociology. Good luck!
