Preprofessional programs

PRE-HEALTH
The Pre-Health Advising Office offers resources and information to students from all UF majors who intend to pursue a graduate program in the health professions, such as medical, dental, veterinary, pharmacy, physician assistant, optometry, physical therapy, and/or occupational therapy school. Pre-health students may choose almost any major they are interested in pursuing.  Pre-health students should review the detailed information on the pre-health advising website to explore and keep track of necessary steps to take throughout their time at UF in order to become competitive applicants for the professional programs to which they plan to apply.

All pre-health students are encouraged to enroll in Pre-Health Essentials, a free, non-graded Canvas course offered by the Pre-Health Advising Office. Pre-Health Essentials offers workshops and resources for pre-health students to explore and prepare for a healthcare profession.
