This page is run by the Pre-Professional Advising Office. We look forward to supporting you on your way to professional school!

We advise students pursuing academic tracks in pre medicine, physician assistant (PA), physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT), dentistry, optometry, and pharmacy. For students looking to start their pre-health journey, be sure to visit our website to sign up for our pre-health webinar. Once you have completed the webinar in WebCampus you will be able to set an initial advising appointment with one of our peer advisors.

My name is Syed Ali. I am a senior who scored a 519 on the MCAT and would like to hold accessible tutoring to students at UNR. If interested, please fill out this Microsoft form. My goal is to start holding walk-in help sessions for students as early as November Friday afternoons/evenings. If you have already taken the MCAT and would like to tutor as well, please email me at [email protected]. Please fill out this form if you are interested.

Pre-health Freshmen and Sophomore students, sign up for ACE 101 in the spring if you haven’t been able to enroll this fall. You’ll learn what it takes to prepare for a competitive application process in the future, giving you time now to intentionally schedule your prerequisite coursework and understand what actionable steps to take to get healthcare experiences and build winning attributes!

Tabling now inside the PSAC, Career Studio has numerous internship positions open and some do not even have any students who have applied. Go now! There are lots of opportunities available.

Preparing for a program interview is important because it helps to transform you from a passive applicant into a confident, deliberate candidate who can clearly prove their value.

Staff advisors can work with students on their interview preps for those who submitted their applications this season. This is the heavy process for programs across the nation who are trying to select their top candidates so your goal is to stand out!

Schedule with Grace Leal or Josh Deason for assistance. (Btw, Grace Leal will be joining the UC Riverside Med School Interview group this year to assist during the winter break to help narrow down their pool of applicants and get a first hand experience of what their interview process will look like.)

Our peer advisor, Marisa Oishi, from the Big Island of Hawai’i spent the last 8 weeks in training and is now ready to take student appointments! She is available to meet with incoming freshmen and sophomore students who are interested in understanding what activities and courses they will need for their respective pre-health track. Get spring ready and schedule your advising appointment through Navigate today!

Another successful semester with our ACE 101 students!! Thank you to all of our amazing TAs, to Honors College for your support and most of all, to the UNR School of Medicine for your partnership in helping our students understand the admissions expectations of our program. We are grateful to our students and wish them all the success ahead!

Having the wisdom of those who came before us like our medical students is a bonus many don’t have as a pre-health student. Here at UNR, those who enroll into our ACE 101 class are fortunate to have the opportunity to hear from our medical students and tour the facility of our University’s medical program. Thank you so much to Nick Dunkle, UNRSOM Coordinator of Outreach and Retention, all of our MS2 panelist, and MS1 Tour Guides. We appreciate your wisdom and mentorship to our aspiring medical students who someday will also be our future healthcare providers!!

Shadowing to get clinical observation experience is essential in understanding the potential healthcare field you might want to pursue. It is only by being in its environment and asking providers what their day to day grind looks likes - what are challenges, the ethical dilemma as well as the rewards - that will help you determine if the field is a good match for you! Here are our suggestions to have a successful shadowing experience!

We are past the half way through ACE 101! Our TAs have been working with our major PackPods talking to them about time management strategies, prioritizing academic and healthcare experiences, while building meaningful attributes. Today we went over the med school’s PREView exam to help students take a sneak peek into their future preparation. Hoping to make a solid foundation for all of our pre-health students to succeed!
