About the Programs
The allied health science programs are part of the
Department of Biological and Alhed Health Sciences at
Bloomsburg University. Approximately half of the
students in this department are majoring in the health
career disciplines of physical therapy, occupational
therapy, medical technology, medical imaging,
respiratory therapy, pharmacy and cytotechnology.
Medical Technology and Medical Imaging, both
formal degree programs, are described elsewhere in the
catalog. In

Core Curriculum. More than 70 students are
enrolled in the pre-physical therapy program; listed

below are some of the courses found in that curriculum.
The curricula for the other preparatory programs are
similar to pre-P.T. but do vary; hence, students are
encouraged to design a program that fits the
requirements of the school to which they wish to
transfer.

Like pre-P.T., the courses in pre-occupational

therapy, pre-cytotechnology and pre-pharmacy are

drawn primarily from

the physical, biological and

behavioral sciences.

health physics.

As with

other science majors, the major

in health physics requires dedication, so, for success,

students must spend about 50 or

more hours per week

on academic studies, involving classes, laboratories
and outside preparation. Modem laboratories introduce
students

Full Review - A Full Review occurs when the IRB
reviews the proposed research and meets with the
principal investigators to discuss and evaluate the
impact on human subjects. After review IRB members
vote to approve or disapprove the proposal. Full
reviews are conducted for proposed research that
involves more than minimal risk or where very careful
