Celebrating Pathways in Science and Technology





















BAHS was well-represented at Pathways in Science and Technology, a CoST event that brings alumni to campus to share their journeys from the BU classrooms and labs to the professional world.  Over 200 current BAHS students attended panel discussions on careers in biology and allied health sciences and to learn about opportunities for internships and graduate study.  Students had the opportunity to ask questions such as "how did you choose your career?" and "what experiences at BU were most helpful to you during your journey?"  Special thank you to Dr. Venditti the BAHS program organizer and moderators Dr. Kate Beishline and Abby Hare-Harris.  

 Below are the BAHS alumni who returned to campus to share their experiences. It was great to see you!  Come back and visit soon!

Internship Experience for Medical Imaging Majors

BAHS medical imaging majors gained valuable experience with various imaging technologies  during internships at Geisinger Health System.   Intern Ashley Wilkins  reports: "I  have been able to see so much in the Radiology field. I have observed general diagnostic radiology, MRI, CAT scan, and ultrasound. I have seen x-rays of different body parts, especially of the chest. I have also seen numerous MRIs of the brain and spine and CAT scans of the chest and abdomen. Lastly, I have seen many pregnancy ultrasounds. My favorite part of the internship is being able to start learning early. I definitely recommend this internship to other students. It is a great way to become more familiar with the type of environment you will work in during your career. It is also  a jump start to your learning, because you get to see so much and you have the opportunity to ask questions.
