Plan for a Career in Health
The Pre-Health Professions Advisory Committee (P.H.P.A.C.) committee provides advisement for students interested in medical, dental, veterinary, optometry, and other post-graduate professional schools, as well as graduate schools. Gaining admission to these schools can be a complicated process.
One role of the P.H.P.A.C. at Plattsburgh is to help students decide whether this is the career choice that they would like to make and help to prepare them for the challenge. This is done through discussions with the student and by making available up-to-date literature on post-graduate schools.
Getting into Post-Graduate School
Another role of the committee is to advise the students on which classes will best prepare them for post-graduate school. There is no specific Pre-Medicine major at Plattsburgh - a specific pre-medical concentration is not a requirement for medical school or most other pre-professional schools. A student in any major can be a candidate for admission. However, there are certain core science requirements for each discipline, and the P.H.P.A.C. will advise the student of these requirements.
Finally, the committee forms an evaluation of the student's school record and makes recommendations to the applicant school.
