Experience Allied Health in Action
Augusta University’s College of Allied Health Sciences is opening doors to health care careers through immersive field trips for students of all ages across the CSRA and beyond. These visits offer hands-on learning experiences alongside AU students, allowing participants to explore programs such as radiation therapy, clinical laboratory sciences, respiratory therapy, and more. The interactive environment sparks curiosity, builds confidence, and helps students envision their future in health care. For many, it’s their first time on a college campus, making the experience both inspiring and impactful. This initiative also serves as a long-term recruitment strategy for Augusta University, strengthening connections with the community and cultivating future health professionals.
