Health Professions Academic Advising
The Health Professions Advising Program at Elizabethtown College seeks to guide students by emphasizing the courses and skills necessary for students to attain success in a health profession career.
Pre-professional preparation in the health sciences can be achieved by pairing specific course work in the sciences and humanities with almost any major at Etown. Therefore, a committee comprised of members from multiple academic departments has been established to help students tailor their undergraduate preparation in the health sciences and to help them navigate the process of applying to professional schools. Links on our Health Careers page will provide you with information regarding specific coursework, shadowing opportunities and affiliation agreements at Elizabethtown. If you have questions regarding health professions advising after reviewing these materials, then please feel free to email hpac@etown.edu.
