Your Pre-Health Advisory Success Team
At PLU, pre-professional health advising is structured as a collaborative success team composed of four dedicated faculty advisors across biology, chemistry, and kinesiology, the Associate Director of Pre-Health Advising, and the Dean of Natural Sciences. Together, our team works closely with you through every stage of your pre-health journey, from initial course planning to competitive application submission.

Every student pursuing a career in medicine, dentistry, physician assistant studies, physical therapy, occupational therapy, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, optometry, or other health professions is encouraged to utilize our team.
