Pre-Health Studies Program

This is a campus-wide program available to any student from any major who may be interested in a career in the medical or health professions. There are many resources at this site that can help to educate you regarding the different health service fields that one can specialize in and how to best prepare for that career. For students who are interested in a health career, but are not quite sure where to start, we recommend beginning with the Career Resources page. Here you will find links to a variety of different health professions so that you can learn more about each one.

It is strongly recommended that students interested in the medical and health professions meet with one of the Pre-Health Program advisors no later than their sophomore year and continue to meet periodically. This contact will help ensure that students complete the specific requirements for the programs to which they intend to submit applications, since each program and institution has varying admissions requirements. Note that particularly strong graduating grade-point averages, 阴影, leadership demonstrations, and volunteering/community service are required for competitive applications to professional schools.

When the time comes to apply for your program, the advisors are here to help you with the process. Please feel free to schedule an appointment with one of them during the process of preparing and submitting your application. As a part of your application, you may need to have a composite letter of recommendation from 弗雷明汉 State University. 

Please see the Health Professions Advisory Committee (HPAC) page to review the process of meeting with the Committee and obtaining a letter. Please note that students applying to medical and health professions schools should complete an Intent to 应用 Form no later than December 1st of the year prior to his/her application. Students with January application deadlines should submit by September 15th.
