As a pre-health student, we know how important it is to take the required prerequisites before applying to your health professions school of choice. It is important that you take time to get settled into college and enjoy your time at UVA. The below plan is specific to those on a pre-med path, but many of the required prerequisite courses are the same for other health professions.

Pre-Health Secondary Applications

What are “pre-reqs”?

Hey there! My name is Veronica Gutierrez and I graduated from UVA in the Fall 2022 with a double major in Biology and Cognitive Science. While at UVA, I was involved in a wide variety of extracurricular activities such as volunteering as an EMT at the local rescue squad, working as a bartender/server at a restaurant on The Corner, volunteering at UVA Hospital as a Spanish patient ambassador, working in a neuroscience lab, working as a Pre-Health Advising Peer and TA and being on the exec team for UVA’s College Mentors for Kids organization.

My name is Miriam and I’m a graduate student in the Master of Public Health program here at UVA, which I’ll be finishing up in May. That means pretty soon I’ll be a double Hoo, because I also did my undergraduate degree here in medical anthropology.
