MU has pre-health advisers who assist students prepare for professional health care programs. We will work with you to plan your academic coursework, discuss your health care experiences, and assist with the application process. There’s no “right” way to prepare for these programs; working with an adviser can help you to individualize the process.

Come prepared!
Your advising appointment will be much more effective if you have written down the questions you would like to discuss.
