I graduated from the University of Utah with a major in “Behavioral Science and Health” currently named “Health, Society & Policy.” Since leaving the U, I have worked as Program Manager for University of Utah School of Medicine, Deptartment of Ophthalmology. I am soon planning to retire.

Working for the School of Medicine health care area, I always had an interest in behavioral sciences and it was the best fit for someone who went back to school post children. I have to have a great deal of behavioral science training to work with clinical faculty, fellows and residents, not to mention the administrative support staff! It's a great all around degree that lends itself to many careers.
