Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental Center (Spring 2015)

The purpose of the University of Connecticut’s Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental Center is to provide systematic and sustained resources and advising to students and alumni of the University community for students interested in pursuing professional careers as doctors of medicine and dental medicine, or as physician assistants.


Updates

The Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental Center, with the support and direction of the Pre-Professional Faculty Advising Committee, provides individual advising, informational group and workshop activities, and professional school application process services to prospective students, current students, alumni, faculty, and University staff. Approximately 250 applicants to professional schools are expected during the upcoming application cycle.

We offer an annual MCAT/DAT Prep Test course for students preparing to take the exams. Course enrollment is projected to reach approximately 100 students for Spring 2015. For Fall 2015, the Post-Baccalaureate Program has received 104 applications seeking acceptance into the program since January 1. Enrollment closes in March 2015. A full slate of workshops for Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental students has been scheduled for the 2014-2015 academic year, and dinner events for students and alumni in the Special Programs in Medicine and Dental Medicine and the Post-Baccalaurate Program are being planned and scheduled.


Meeting with the Director

The Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental Center encourages any student interested in a health profession to meet as early as possible with the Director. Appointments can be scheduled via AdvApp or by contacting the Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental Office, listed under the Pre-Professional Programs heading.
