Pre-Professional
Advising
Students should initiate a visit with the Health Professions
Director early in their undergraduate career. The initial
appointment begins the journey of career exploration and the
determination of possible pre-professional pathways. With
self-assessment, students can consider whether they are well-suited
for and whether their interests lie in a health profession
which is patient-related (medicine, nursing) or health-care
related (health systems management, medical informatics).
The model for advising is shared responsibility and encouraging
self-responsibility in pre-health professions students. The
objective is to provide the resources for students to be able
to make informed decisions regarding their pre-professional
pathway.
To help students with the application process for admission
to health professions schools, the following are offered:
- Application and Interviewing Workshops and Mock Interviews
- Campus visits from Admissions Officers of the health professions
schools
- Resources on career choice, schools, and admissions requirements
- Opportunities for students to investigate the health profession
of choice
- Letter Collection Service during the application cycle
