Human Physiology, minor in Chemistry. Class of 2014.                             

Graduated medical school from Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences.  

“The pre-health advising office really gave me the confidence to continue with my medicine aspirations and not give up as I faced various hurdles along the way. It's a grueling and competitive process, but having the right people in your corner can be the difference between persevering or throwing in the towel. I would recommend anyone who is thinking about medical school get in touch with an advisor earlier rather than later, in order to anticipate and plan for the challenges ahead.”
