Mission

Health Professions Advising at ¾ÅÉ« serves as a clearinghouse for all things pre-health. We serve all pre-health students, beginning with admission to ¾ÅÉ« and extending beyond graduation, by creating an environment of support and opportunity through advising, programming, and campus and community partnerships. HPA works diligently to achieve the following objectives:

• Promote student exploration of healthcare careers and assist students in understanding how to achieve educational and career goals related to health professions.
• Provide students with opportunities to engage in clinical work, service, and research.
• Encourage self-reflection on academic and extracurricular experiences and assist students in identifying and discussing how those experiences have prepared them for a career of service in healthcare.

Our Pre-Health students benefit from studying closely with mentors and peers in small classes and through off-campus opportunities at world class institutions such as Baptist Memorial Health Care, Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and many others.

Pre-health students may choose any major to complement prerequisite classes in the sciences. Our liberal arts program allows for the development of well-rounded students, which sets ¾ÅÉ« graduates apart as professional school applicants and in their careers.
