These services include: individual therapy, group therapy and general mental health consultation. Learn more on our Mental Health Counseling Services website.

  Near Graduating Students

  It is our priority that we take every step to assure that our students in their final year of study will successfully graduate. Many of you have both coursework and clinical work to complete in order to graduate. You will be hearing from your division director about program specific requirements that have been set up in order for you to meet graduation requirements under these unusual circumstances. Many students in HRS will be participating in clinicals. Some health systems are asking for travel histories of the students who will be working in their facilities.  As such, we are collecting this information now so it is available.  Please share your travel experiences on the survey found here: http://go.osu.edu/hrsstudenttravel

  The School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences will accept any HRS undergraduate prerequisites and co-requisites but are making the following statement: Taking prerequisite and co-requisites for any program in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences as PANP for autumn 2020 going forward may NEGATIVELY IMPACT AND potentially disqualify applicants from admission consideration in our programs, so students are highly encouraged to take all prerequisite, including co-requisites courses, for a letter grade.

  The School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences will not accept PA/NP for any HRS undergraduate majors (Athletic Training, Health Information Management and Systems, Health Sciences, Medical Dietetics, Medical Laboratory Science, Radiologic Sciences and Therapy and Respiratory Therapy), HRS undergraduate minor (Integrative Approaches to Health and Wellness, Aging, and Medical Laboratory Science) or HRS certificate (Assistive and Rehabilitation Technology) courses offered in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences.
