Pre-Health Career Pathways empowers students to prepare for and successfully pursue careers in the health professions. We specialize in working with our pre-medical, pre-physician assistant (PA) and pre-dental populations, but we encourage all students to explore their career options in health fields. We focus on competency-based advising, encouraging students and future applicants to engage in self reflection, rigorous pursuit of academic enrichment, and intentional exploration of on campus involvement and engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are part of the Center for Career and Experiential Education (CCEE)<\/a>, proudly supporting student success through engagement in high quality personal and professional experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
