Health psychology is a specialization that studies human behavior as it relates to health. It may examine what motivates people to exercise, to continue smoking despite knowing the risks, or to follow a doctor’s instructions after an appointment. Rehabilitation psychology is the subspecialty that focuses on the behavioral impact of illness and disability. It focuses on how individuals cope and adapt to illness, and how their emotional states are impacted.
The Bachelor of Health and Rehabilitation Psychology degree program at Faulkner University features a set of core psychology courses. These are combined with basic medical education, preparing students for a challenging field that demands both competencies. By graduation, students are prepared to:
- Learn about patient health through medical histories, physical exams, and interviews

- Perform evidence-based psychotherapy services for individuals and families
- Coordinate care with other health professionals, family members, and home caretakers
- Educate individuals and caretakers on health and psychology topics
- Assess and record patient progress for evaluations and billing
