Health Professions Advisory Committee of UHD

       
Chair: Prof. Tyra Montgomery Members: Profs.Capeheart, Flosi, Gulati, Lyons, McCullough, Montgomery, Morano, Spears, and Uzman
The Health Professions Advisory Committee provides advising for students interested in entering health-related professions, including admission into professional schools. All students interested in applying to a professional school must obtain letter of recommendation forms from the Natural Sciences Department that must by completed and turned in to Prof. Montgomery. The committee chair collects letters and writes a committee letter (preferred by most medical and dental schools). The committee letter and individual letters will be sent to professional schools for which the student has provided addresses. 
Below are links to various organizations with helpful information about professional school admissions, as well as information about various professional schools (this is an evolving list to which we are happy to make additions provided by students and professionals).
Students should be mindful of deadlines for medical and dental schools shown in the link below - failure to observe them will delay your application, which can dramatically impact your chances of obtaining an interview and admittance!
