The HPAC supports Marquette and the College of Health Sciences by training the next generation of scientists and health care providers with cutting-edge technology.

Students in their junior and senior years may apply to an internship in the HPAC where they will learn a variety of skills related to clinical and performance testing. Original research projects are encouraged, though interns will have exposure to existing research.
