Pre-Health Professional Advising
Guidance for the journey ahead. Support for every step.
Your path to a future in medicine, dentistry, veterinary care, pharmacy or biomedical research starts here—with support that’s rooted in experience and focused on your goals.
Our Pre-Health Professional Advisors are here to help you navigate the path toward advanced biomedical programs and careers. While they can’t secure your spot in a program or land you a job—that part is up to you—they’ll be by your side to help you rise as a competitive applicant, submit essential recommendation letters and offer honest, forward-looking guidance when it matters most.
Sometimes, the journey shifts. And when it does, our advisors are here to help you explore alternative options with clarity and care. They’re not here to do it for you—they’re here to empower you to move forward with purpose.
Meet Your Pre-Health Advisors
You’re encouraged to connect with Dr. Beth Stotz-Potter or Dr. Amy Keagy throughout your academic career. These dedicated advisors are members of the National Association of Advisors for the Health Professions (NAAHP) and bring you the latest insights, strategies and updates to help your application stand out in a competitive landscape.
