About SHRS

At the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences (SHRS), we move lives forward.

Through academic research, technology design, and rigorous training, we educate the next generation of health professionals who will help others reach their fullest potential.

Our many departments and programs—joined by their common focus on real science helping real people—offer undergraduate, graduate, and certificate programs.

Unique Opportunities

Learning at SHRS goes well beyond the classroom. Our close working relationship with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, as well as research labs and clinics throughout the University, means that our students have unique access to internship and research opportunities.
