Advising at Penn State

PreHealth and Health Professions Advising is available to any Penn State student who wants to explore, prepare, and apply for training in a health professions career, including medicine, podiatry, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy, physician assistant, and other allied health professions.

We want to assist students with understanding:
  • Information about health profession prerequisites and expectations.
  • The demands of a health professions degree.
  • The keys to being a successful health professional school applicant.
  • Relevant courses and experiences that strengthen their application.

Health Professions Portfolio and Comprehensive Interview

The PreHealth Advising Office is excited to begin offering an E-Portfolio for our students considering entering a health profession. This portfolio will serve as a space for students to both track their coursework and activities, and reflect on their personal journey. Through this system, we can provide targeted guidance to help each applicant enhance their collegiate preparation, better understand the strength of their candidacy, and make informed choices when deciding to apply to health professions programs.
