Pre-Health Professions

The Gettysburg College Health Professions Committee helps students meet the challenges of planning for and applying to medical schools and other graduate programs in the health professions. 

• In addition to astrong, flexible curriculum and excellent facilities, Gettysburg College provides:
  • Individualized guidance
  • Internship and volunteer opportunities
  • Special relationships with graduate programs.
• Our Health Professions Advising program is set within a liberal arts context that is
  increasingly valuable.
  • Graduate schools continue to demand more well-rounded students, trained in analytical and critical thinking and problem solving, and demonstratingexceptional communication skills and a life-long desire to learn.

The Health Professions Committee has developed an array of specific Career Fact Sheets to provide students with detailed information on the many options available in the allied health field. These offer need-to-know information on graduate school, required entrance tests and timelines, and other admissions criteria - all of which is important for students pursuing medical school/graduate study in the health field.

Getting Started

When a student is considering to pursue a health profession, the first thing to do is complete the Registration Form and turn it in to Dr. Stuempfle.  You will then receive e-mail updates and information on a variety of programs, lectures and open houses given by a number of health profession schools.   

In the meantime, you are encouraged to become familiar with the vast array of helpful materials available here within the Pre-Health Professions pages, to make your pre-health professions planning a success!
