Welcome Pre-Health Students & Alumni!
Health Professions Advising supports University of Puget Sound undergraduate students, graduate students, and alumni in preparing for and applying to health-related professional programs. Our goal is to help individuals reach their full potential as strong applicants and future health care professionals. We provide academic advising, career counseling, mock interviews, letters of evaluation, and application assistance. Common fields of interest for pre-health students include medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, physician assistant, optometry, nursing, podiatry, pharmacy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, genetic counseling, athletic training, and others.
Advisors are available to consult with students and alumni, answering questions on careers in healthcare, course planning, requirements for specific professional health programs and application guidance. Contact healthprofessions@pugetsound.edu with your questions or visit the Contacts page to schedule an appointment with a Health Professions Advisor.
Alumni: HPA continues to support Puget Sound alumni indefinitely. Regardless of the number of years since graduation, HPA provides advising support on all aspects of the application process.
- For alumni applying to medical school or dental school: Alumni who meet eligibility criteria may request a committee letter from the Health Professions Advising Committee. For alumni ineligible for or not interested in receiving a committee letter, HPA provides a letter collection service and facilitates the collection and transmission of letters of recommendation at no charge.
