Western University Highlights

We realize that you have a great number of institutions from which to choose. Here are just a few reasons why you should choose Western University for your health professions education!

	Western University's multi-program environment allows you to begin working with other future health care providers through our many clubs and organizations while still in school!
	Our students are well received and respected in clinical settings. Often, they are recognized for their compassionate, team-spirited approach to health care.
	With fewer than 2,000 students enrolled at the university, you have the opportunity to interact with your fellow students and faculty in an intimate environment. Our faculty members are friendly and accessible.
	Western University is innovative and progressive! Consider the curriculum block schedule and modern, high-tech classrooms in the College of Pharmacy, or the fact that we have the first College of Veterinary Medicine to open with a strictly Problem Based Learning curriculum, the first with a female dean, and the first with a serious Reverence-For-Life philosophy. In addition, Western University's College of Graduate Nursing's MSN/FNP program was the first to open with a primarily Web-based distance learning curriculum, and we are one of the few physical therapy programs that offers students early exposure to clinical medicine.
	Western University's programs have a primary care focus. As a result, our graduates have a broad, well-rounded education to become specialists. Having a broad-based education will serve you well when taking your board exam, as it will cover many topics, not just those topics that relate to a specialized field.
	Western University graduates receive multiple job offers!
	The student services staff is friendly and helpful, giving you personal attention from application to graduation!
	Our student body, administration and staff reflect the diversity of Southern California!
	The weather in Southern California is incredible, and there are great things to do in and around the city of Pomona.
	Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or just want to stay on top of your academics, the Learning Enhancement/Academic Excellence Office (LEAD) will provide you with ongoing academic support.
	From simple to complex needs, the Western University Center for Disability Issues and the Health Professions offers excellent assistance to Western University students.
	If you're interested in Western University's College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific, the Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (hands on diagnosis and treatment) taught as a part of your medical education, equips you with an additional tool with which to help your patients.
