Pre-health action plan

This template will help you assemble information about curricular and co-curricular experiences and facilitate the process of reflection on how these have contributed to your personal, academic, and professional growth. Through this process you will become well organized and prepared for application to graduate programs in the health sciences.

Prerequisite course comparison

Many of our pre-professional health programs share some common prerequisite courses. That means you have the ability to keep your options open while you continue to explore your options and interests.

Clinical experiences and other co-curricular opportunities

When you’re applying to graduate schools it will be important to demonstrate your experience and understanding. We offer opportunities to build that experience in clinical settings and to build community in meaningful service and volunteer activities.

Study abroad health-related opportunities

The Saint Ben’s and Saint John’s Center for Global Education offers a whole range of semester and short-term study abroad options. Several of our destinations offer community-engaged learning opportunities that make them particularly popular with pre-professional health students.
