Pre-Health Preparation

Preparing for a career in the health professions is not just about learning facts. It is about learning and mastering skills and about abilities and values that help you throughout your life. While there are many resources to learn about the process for preparing and applying to health professions programs, it’s important that you consult with OPPAF professional staff who have extensive experience guiding students as they prepare for graduate/professional school. It is the student’s responsibility, however, to initiate relationships with staff and faculty, staff who are important resources. Relationships with faculty should be established early in your undergraduate career.
