The Biology Advising Center does the majority of prehealth advising at Utah State University. We advise students pursuing medical, dental, pharmacy, physician assistant, physical therapy, optometry, podiatry, chiropractic and occupational therapy. Professional schools are looking for students who have the academic potential to succeed in a rigorous, science-based professional program, in addition to the personal potential to be a competent and compassionate health professional. To learn more about this process please begin with the following steps. 1) Subscribe to the Prehealth Listserve. Throughout the year important prehealth professions information, such as job opportunities, undergraduate research opportunities, professional school visits, speakers, and prehealth club activities, will be sent to your designated email account. To subscribe or unsubscribe visit: sympa.usu.edu/wws/subscribe/prehealth_list A message will be sent to your designated email account asking for your confirmation of subscription. You may unsubscribe at this same site. 2) Please view and listen to our Prehealth Orientation Video. This video is a broad overview of the prehealth preparation and application process. Topics discussed in this video include, choosing a major, general prerequisite coursework, creating a four year plan, extracurricular activities, admission test and application service information, and resources for students to learn more.

3) View
the Prehealth Professions Packet. Prerequisite coursework requirements vary
by type of professional school, (medical vs. dental vs. pharmacy) but
they also vary within the professional schools themselves (each medical
school has specific requirements). Vast amounts of material are
available for students to learn more about this process; however the
student has the responsibility of investigating and getting informed. |
