The Health Sciences Scholars (HSS) Program introduces students to the wide variety of academic programs and career opportunities in health sciences and health care. Health Sciences Scholars might be interested in study and careers in the allied medical professions (athletic training; health information management and systems; health sciences; medical dietetics; physical, occupational, and respiratory therapy; or medical and radiologic technology), dental hygiene, dentistry, medicine, nursing, optometry, pharmacy, or veterinary medicine. Some Scholars may be committed to a particular career or course of study, while others may wish to explore the many exciting possibilities available in the health sciences. The Health Sciences Scholars Program enables serious students to pursue a thoughtfully planned co-curricular program that will help to prepare them for success in these fields.

Senior Alyssa Plooksawasdi is from Ellicott City, Maryland. 📍
She studied abroad in Paphos, Cyprus, completing Ohio State’s Nursing 3798 course (The Global Sustainable Development Goals: A Focus on Health and Well-being). 🌱

Alyssa describes her biggest takeaway from the trip: “One of my biggest takeaways was seeing how public health initiatives are shaped by local culture and challenges. Although w**e has historically been an important part of the Mediterranean diet, Cyprus promotes water consumption and limiting alcohol use as part of its efforts to support SDG #3. I also learned about the country’s efforts to reduce to***co use, such as requiring cigarette packages to display graphic health warnings about the consequences of smoking. Beyond health initiatives, I gained a greater appreciation for the importance of adaptability. While Cyprus has a public bus system, it was not always reliable, which made me reflect on the daily challenges that locals may face when relying on public transportation to get to work or other essential destinations.”

Fun Question: Alyssa’s favorite cultural food she tried abroad was mixed pork souvlaki and sheftalia gyros! 🥙

Great work, Alyssa! 👏

Senior Ohanna Cho is from Columbus, Ohio.📍
Ohanna studied abroad in Quito, Ecuador, completing a shadowing program through Child Family Health International (CFIH). 🏥

Ohanna describes her biggest takeaway was: “…[R]ealizing that medicine extends far beyond diagnosing and treating illness. Throughout my clinical rotations, I observed physicians who not only cared for their patients medically, but also took the time to educate, reassure, and build trust with them and their families. Outside of the hospital, living with a host family and experiencing everyday life in Ecuador helped me understand how culture, language, family dynamics, and community all influence a person’s health and healthcare experience. Together, these experiences showed me that becoming a physician means caring for the whole person, not
