The Health Science major at Stony Brook University's School of Health Professions offers a forward-thinking curriculum designed to adapt to the dynamic healthcare landscape. The program emphasizes a holistic education, integrating essential components such as ethics, cultural humility, effective communication, critical thinking, evidence-based practice, and scholarly inquiry.
