What are the premedical and health professions advising programs?

At RIT, pre-med is not an academic major. Instead, the premedical and health professions advising program is a pre-professional advising option that provides personal, individualized academic counseling to help you become an exceptional candidate for admission to medical schools and graduate programs in health care professions. You can major in any academic program at RIT and participate in the premedical and health professions advising program.

Medical schools and graduate programs in the health sciences base their admission decisions on several factors, including academic record and GPA, application essay, scores from MCAT and other admissions exams, letters of recommendation, extracurricular activities, clinical and summer employment experiences, undergraduate research experience, fieldwork, and community involvement/volunteering. The premedical and health professions advising program will assist you in creating a comprehensive long-term strategy for preparing for a successful application.  Working in collaboration with the advisors from your major, we emphasize the importance of academic excellence and also provide guidance and advice on extracurricular activities, undergraduate research opportunities, clinical and summer employment opportunities, MCAT and other graduate school admission exams, co-op experiences, medical and graduate school applications, and more.
