Info Sessions and Resources

UND’s Pre-Health Program includes informational sessions to ensure students are focused on the necessary topics at the appropriate time.
 

There are four required meetings specific to first-year students that are designed to orient new students to the expectations of the pre-health program, what professional schools look for in an applicant, and class registration/advisement. In addition, we offer informational sessions on all facets of health professional school admissions, including standardized test preparation, application procedures, and successful interviewing techniques.

Scheduled events during the fall and spring semesters are listed below.
