The opportunities available to students enrolled in the Âé¶¹ÉçÇø School of Law Health Law LL.M. program are unrivaled. I had immediate real-world healthcare exposure through an externship during my first and last quarters and a paid internship during my second quarter. As a result, I made numerous personal connections with local attorneys, and the program plays a large role in the local health law community. This experience made a major impact in my ability to find the perfect job after graduation – and the connections I made as a result of the program will last a lifetime!
