Health Professions Advisory Committee

Director: Dr. Gabriel Villares, villagj@stthom.edu

Preparation for a career in medicine, dentistry or other health profession begins by planning a successful undergraduate education. At the University of St. Thomas, students establish a foundation for entering specialized training in the health professions through our broad–based liberal arts and sciences curriculum. We focus on the total undergraduate experience including pre–requisite coursework, career involvement through volunteering in the health field, undergraduate research, mock interviews and entry exams, and ongoing advisory support and evaluation.

These tracks can be added to any undergraduate degree or pursued as a post-baccalaureate student. The nature of the admissions process and required skill set for the programs in these areas is rapidly changing. Students interested in any of these fields should go to the Office of Academic Advising for the most current course tracks and information or contact HPAC@stthom.edu.
