It is a huge misconception that students interested in healthcare cannot get jobs right after graduation from Denison. Even if you do not think so, many of us still feel pressure to go straight into graduate school or settle for other opportunities before considering an entry-level job. When, in fact, it can be very beneficial to have an entry-level job to gain experience for graduate school or whatever future dream profession you may have.
