More than 60 percent of health care professionals work in fields requiring specialized knowledge at the undergraduate, master's or doctoral level. Their jobs are some of the most in-demand in health care. The VCU College of Health Professions is one of the very best at equipping future health care leaders with the skills they need to build stronger, healthier communities.

When most people think of health care, we often picture doctors and nurses, but behind every diagnosis, recovery, and patient success story, there’s a wide network of dedicated professionals making it happen. From physical therapists and laboratory scientists to administrators and radiologists, health professionals are essential to the delivery, coordination, and innovation of care in today’s health care system. These are some of the fastest-growing and most in-demand careers in the nation, requiring advanced knowledge, hands-on expertise, and a desire to make meaningful contributions in their fields.
