6 Weeks To Go: Health Career Information July 21, 2008 

For future doctors, dentists, vets, OT's, PT's, etc.....

Students do not have to major in a science-based discipline to seek admission to a health science professional program like medicine, occupational therapy, physical therapy, or public health, to name just a few. Students who major in one of the fields housed in the Society and Culture student community are well prepared to enter into any health profession program and career. With a little timely planning, these students can complete program prerequisites while earning an undergraduate degree in the College of Liberal Arts.

For information on pre-health careers programming offered at the University of Minnesota, go to these websites:

Health Careers Center (http://www.healthcareers.umn.edu/)

Prerequisite Planning sheets for the health sciences (http://hns.class.umn.edu/health_science_programs/)

Successful candidates to these professional programs attend the informational meetings offered and meet with advisers on a regular basis to discuss courses, volunteer activities, and strategies for getting effective letters of evaluation.

Start your preparation early!

Next week, find out strategies for learning about all sorts of other career opportunities.
