Through rigorous study with talented faculty members in challenging courses and meaningful undergraduate research, internship, leadership and service-learning opportunities, USF will equip you to embark on your career or pursue an advanced degree. What’s more, when you graduate you’ll join an alumni network of more than 250,000. That’s what we call unstoppable.

Redefining holistic care

In addition to an intense course load, biomedical science and philosophy double major Ryan Williamson, who begins medical school next fall, still found time to amass a wide range of real-world experiences during his time at USF. From shadowing a surgeon at James A. Haley VA Medical Center (and witnessing the removal of cancer from a patient’s esophagus) to volunteering with Young Life, a national youth group, at its winter camp in North Carolina for three years, Ryan’s diverse experiences have equipped him to provide holistic care to his patients. “I only hope that my background in philosophy will one day assist me in acting upon my patients’ best interests when I am faced with making critical ethical and bioethical decisions.”
