Health Professions Advisory Committee

The Health Professions Advisory Committee (HPAC) helps students prepare to apply to medical (MD and DO), dental school, optometry and veterinary medicine. HPAC also provides advice for students interested in advancing towards careers in genetic counseling, chiropractic medicine, physician’s assistant and physical therapy. The HPAC meets with groups of students on a periodic basis, conducts mock interviews with individual students as application deadlines draw near, collects letters of recommendation on behalf of applicants, and writes the Committee letter for the student’s applications. HPAC also holds seminars to discuss the application requirements and procedures, and any changes in the application process. The HPAC includes faculty with expertise in science and engineering, literature and social sciences, business/healthcare management, and academic advisors and undergraduate academic administration.
