— The Medical College of Wisconsin and the Milwaukee School of Engineering today announced a new program giving MSOE students more opportunities to explore careers in health care.
The two institutions have rolled out the Student Pathways to Flourishing in the Health Professions program, which will start in fall 2026. Through the program, students at MSOE will be able to explore various MCW graduate programs, according to the announcement.
The program includes presentations and workshops for undergraduate students featuring perspectives on in-demand health care fields. The offering is meant to support students who can use skills in business, technology, health sciences and artificial intelligence to “improve the lives of others.”
MSOE President John Walz says students that pursue the program will be “prepared to leverage advanced technologies and lead in a rapidly changing landscape” as part of the next generation of health care professionals.
And Dr. John Raymond, president and CEO of MCW, is highlighting the opportunity for mentorship through the program. Mentors and other faculty will help participating students as they navigate the first steps of joining the health care field.
“Our two powerhouse, long-standing institutions are uniquely positioned to bring together emerging and innovative pathways to health professions available to undergraduates,” Raymond said in a statement.
MCW and MSOE are launching the effort with programs in pharmacy, precision medicine, genetic counseling and public health, but they plan to eventually expand the program to other professions.
