Acceptance into a
professional program – whether medicine, veterinary science, dentistry or
allied health – requires more than just a strong academic performance in select
science courses. A prehealth advisor can work with you to design a plan
blending your career aspirations, undergraduate pursuits, and personal
strengths so that you can succeed as a well-rounded candidate. We encourage you
to inform yourself of the opportunities and demands of the healthcare field by
reviewing this website and utilizing the resources and personalized advising
available in the Preprofessional Advising Center.
