☢️ This is Radiological Health Sciences (RADH/RHS) at Purdue.
If you’ve ever wondered how we use radiation safely in medicine, industry, and research—this major is for you.

At Purdue (College of Health and Human Sciences, School of Health Sciences), Radiological Health Sciences is focused on the biomedical and scientific uses of radiation and protecting people, communities, and the environment from harmful effects. You can choose concentrations like Health Physics, Radiation Health & Safety, or Pre-Medical Physics.

‼️Important note for students/parents:
This program is not Radiologic Technology (rad tech) training. Instead, it’s about radiation safety, measurement, protection, and responsible use; the science behind keeping patients and professionals safe.

👀Career paths often include:
Radiation protection / Health physics
Radiation safety programs (medical, industry, research)
Environmental monitoring & compliance
Regulatory and safety-focused roles

🤔Want to go further? Purdue’s Pre-Med 4+1 pathway
If you’re an academically strong undergrad aiming for an accelerated master’s, Purdue offers the Radiological Health Pre-Medical Physics 4+1, a fast track to a one-year master’s for eligible students from the RHS Pre-Med Physics track (or Applied Physics with a medical physics specialization).

🧲 This is Medical Physics

Medical Physics is where physics meets medicine—using radiation and imaging science to improve diagnosis and treatment while keeping patients and professionals safe. Purdue’s Medical Physics program is CAMPEP-accredited and includes coursework, clinical labs/internships, and research opportunities.

❓What can you do with Medical Physics?
Medical physicists work in clinics, hospitals, private practice, research, and universities, supporting areas like diagnostic imaging physics, nuclear medicine physics, radiation therapy physics, and medical health physics (radiation protection and control).

👀Program options at Purdue:
Accelerated 4+1 (MS fast track): Purdue offers a Radiological Health Pre-Medical Physics 4+1 pathway for eligible students to earn an accelerated master’s after completing the Radiological Health Pre-Medical Physics program (or Applied Physics with a Medical Physics specialization).
Graduate program: Pursue the M.S. or Ph.D. in Medical Physics through Purdue Health Sciences.

🧪 This is Toxicology

Toxicology asks a simple question with real-world impact: How do chemical, physical, or biological agents affect health, and at what dose? Toxicologists use science to understand risk and prevent harm.

What can you do with Toxicology?
Graduates go on to careers in academia, government/military, consulting, and industry—working in areas like product safety, exposure science, risk assessment, research, and public health protection.

Program options at Purdue:

Graduate program: Purdue offers Toxicology (M.S. and Ph.D.) through the School of Health Sciences.
Undergrad-to-grad momentum: If you’re exploring a pathway into toxicology, Purdue also offers hands-on experiences like PURE Tox (undergraduate research in toxicology) to help students build research skills and see the field up close.

Talk like Yoda Day, Challenge accepted! 😉

Radiation, everywhere it is—from space, from the earth, even in everyday life.
In Radiological Health Sciences (RHS) at Purdue, rad tech training, this is not.

Radiation safety, we master—how to use radiation responsibly, measure exposure, and protect people and communities through smart standards and prevention.

Careers in radiation protection, health physics, safety programs, environmental monitoring, and regulatory work—possible, they are.

💼🏃 National Employee Health and Fitness Day

Observed on the third Wednesday in May, today is a reminder that healthier employees = healthier workplaces.

Why are we highlighting this in Purdue Health Sciences? Because in Occupational & Environmental Health Sciences (OEHS), “employee health” isn’t just about workouts—it’s about designing work that supports people long-term. Purdue’s OEHS major prepares students for careers in occupational health, safety, and industrial hygiene—helping organizations reduce risks like poor air quality, hazardous exposures, heat stress, and ergonomics that can affect daily well-being.

In today’s changing work environment, OEHS professionals help turn wellness into real prevention—through smarter systems, safer policies, and healthier spaces.

🩺 Hepatitis Testing Day (May 19)

Today is a reminder that testing saves lives—because many people with viral hepatitis don’t feel sick at first, especially with hepatitis C.

Did you Know:
1. Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver, and viral hepatitis commonly includes types A, B, and C.
2. Most people with hepatitis C don’t have symptoms, which is why testing is so important.
3. Today’s hepatitis C treatments can cure more than 95% of cases (when diagnosed and treated).
4. Chronic hepatitis B can lead to serious liver disease, including cirrhosis and liver cancer.

In today’s public health landscape, awareness and access to testing matter more than ever—because prevention and early detection protect people and communities.

So how does this relate to MLAB (Medical Laboratory Sciences)? Clinical lab professionals help power early detection through accurate testing and lab data—supporting clinicians in making timely, evidence-based decisions.

🧬 TSC Global Awareness Day

Today we recognize TSC Global Awareness Day—raising awareness for tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a rare genetic condition that can affect multiple organs.
Why highlight this in MLAB? Clinical laboratory professionals help turn complex cases into clearer answers through testing and ongoing monitoring that supports patient care.

At Purdue Health Sciences, our Medical Laboratory Sciences (MLAC) students train to deliver the accurate, evidence-based lab data that helps clinicians make informed decisions—especially for complex and rare conditions.

On IEEE Global Engineering Day, we’re celebrating the kind of engineering that happens in OEHS every day: protecting workers and communities by engineering safer systems. OEHS applies engineering principles—anticipating hazards, measuring exposures, and implementing controls—to prevent injuries and illness before they happen. You don’t have to major in Engineering to be an engineer when you’re designing solutions that keep people safe.

🧠🌍 International Awareness Day for Chronic Immunological & Neurological Diseases

Today highlights the growing impact of chronic diseases that affect the immune system and brain—conditions that can be influenced by genetics, environment, and long-term exposures.

At Purdue Health Sciences, Toxicology plays a key role in understanding how environmental chemicals, metals, and other exposures may contribute to these diseases at the cellular and molecular level. This research helps inform prevention strategies, policy, and better health outcomes.

If you’re interested in uncovering how the environment impacts human health, this could be your path.

🎗️ Bladder Cancer Awareness Day

Today we recognize the importance of early detection, accurate diagnosis, and ongoing research in the fight against bladder cancer. Medical laboratory professionals play a critical role in this process—analyzing samples, identifying abnormalities, and supporting the clinical decisions that impact patient outcomes.

At Purdue Health Sciences, our Medical Laboratory Sciences (MLAB) program prepares students to do exactly that—working behind the scenes to detect disease and improve lives through laboratory science.

If you’re interested in a career that combines science, precision, and real-world impact, this could be your path.
