Health Professions

The Health Professions Office, part of the Career Center, maintains information on admission requirements for professional schools  such as biomedical research, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physician assistant, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and genetic counseling to name a few.  

The Health Professions Office supports pre-health students in the following ways:

• Exploration: What are some possible health careers? What are the pre-requisite courses students need?
• Preparation: How do students become competitive applicants to a health professions school? What experiences do they need?
• Application: What does the application process entail? We help students understand entrance exams, personal statements, resume reviews, mock interviews, and more.
• Networking: Connecting students to faculty, alumni, researchers, and health care professionals.

If you are a current UMaine student interested in a career in the health professions, you should register as a pre-health student as soon as possible.

Once registered, you will have access to information regarding upcoming Health Professions activities, guest speakers and workshops.
