We provide advising and support to students and alumni who are interested in exploring careers in the health professions, including medicine, dentistry, public health, and other related fields.
Students can major in any discipline, and may decide to pursue a career in the health professions at any time during their undergraduate career or beyond—it simply requires some careful planning once the decision is made.
Our proximity to Philadelphia, and our close relationship with alumni who have distinguished themselves as leaders in the field, affords our students a variety of opportunities to volunteer and work in research laboratories, and other medical settings.
