Galen is USC's Living and Learning Community for students interested in a healthcare career. The program brings the health science disciplines together to give students a more holistic perspective on health care practice and issues.

Galen Health Fellows are provided special opportunities such as obtaining certifications (CPR, Stop the Bleed, etc.), hearing from esteemed heathcare workers, and various networking opportunities with other students and professionals. 

Galen Health Fellows is a community that has allowed me to make best friends with students who have similar majors, interests and future aspirations. I really couldn't imagine how different my first-year experience would be if I did not live in the GHF community.
