Health Professions

For decades, a Muhlenberg education has meant excellent preparation for the challenges of admission to and success in medical school. Exposure to a fine liberal arts curriculum coupled with a strong background in the natural sciences equips prehealth students with the solid foundation needed to find their place in the world.

The Office of Health Professions works with faculty advisors to build customized academic plans that address the specific goals of students pursuing a career in health and medicine. We work to advance the quality of the undergraduate preprofessional student’s lifelong learning process. Through self-assessment workshops, research opportunities, experiential learning, competency development and extensive preparation for the professional school application process, prehealth students are challenged to discover and define their individual career goals.
