The Health Professions Committee
The Health Professions Committee (HPC) assists and advises students considering a profession in one of the many medical and healthcare fields. Beginning during the first year orientation program, members of the commission hold periodic meetings with interested students to acquaint them with the requirements and admissions procedures of the various medical schools. Members of the committee are also available to discuss alternative careers in such fields as hospital management, public health, optometry, podiatry, and numerous other health-related fields. Recommendations of students for medical, dental, and veterinary schools are made only by HPC, after an interview with each applicant.
