PPA offers professional exam workshops & mock exams.

Medical Careers Club is open to any and all students interested in a health related career.

The Office of Pre-Health Professions Advising offers guidance for current UAH students interested in pursuing a career in the professional healthcare field.

"Pre-Health" is not a major, it's a goal.

While many of our students express an interest in Pre-Health, it is important to understand that it is not an actual major. Instead, your Pre-Health Professions Advisor will help you choose the best major possible to help you become a good candidate for one of the many health-related graduate programs. This could mean you will be majoring in Biology, Physics, Math, or another program through the College of Science — or you could chose a major through the Colleges of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences; Business; Education; Engineering; Nursing; or Professional Studies.
