SUMMARY:Seeking a career in health care?
DESCRIPTION:Most people know a nurse or two\, and you may visit your doctor's office and probably have picked up a prescription at your local pharmacy. But what about the larger health care team you don't interact with? For example\, we have clinical laboratory scientists\, responsible for performing scientific testing on samples and reporting results to physicians. Or what about the health information administrator that manages\, protects and analyzes your health care records? Or respiratory therapists that specialize in breathing concerns such as asthma?\n\n \n\nOur bachelor’s degrees in clinical laboratory science\, health information management\, and respiratory care are designed to be 2+2 programs. Two years of prerequisites in KU-Lawrence\, and two years in KU Medical Center. \n\n \n\nFast Facts: \n\n \n\nKU clinical laboratory science students are usually recruited to their first position while still in the program and report an average starting salary of $68\,500.\n\nClinical Laboratory Science professionals are the 3rd largest group if health professionalsThis bachelor’s degree is an excellent preparation for medical school\, physician assistant\, genetics\, research\, physiology\, and pharmacology graduate programs \n\nAcross the entire profession of health information management\, the median salary was $123\,860 per year in 2025\n\nOur program has graduate pathway programs into a master’s in business administration\, master’s in health services administration\, and master’s in health informaticsThe Department of Health Information Management holds top 5 spots of best CAHIIM-accredited health information management programs in Kansas \n\nEmployment of respiratory therapists is projected to grow 9%\, with a median annual salary of $82\,280\, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.\n\nKU’s Medical Center has the only respiratory therapy bachelor's degree in the state of KansasU.S. News & World Report ranked respiratory therapists as the 4th best healthcare job.  \n\nNot convinced?
