Preparing for Medical, Veterinary, Dental, Pharmacy or Physician Assistant
School
You plan to go to a professional school once you've completed your undergraduate
work. But you've heard how tough it is to gain admission to good medical schools,
veterinary schools and dental schools.
Alverno’s pre-professional program combines select courses in the liberal
arts and sciences, pre-professional health advising and seminars, relevant internship
opportunities and peer support groups that prepare you for the rigorous admission
process to professional health school.
Alverno's ability-based curriculum provides you with the skills valued by professional
health schools: the ability to analyze keenly and think critically, to solve
problems independently and as part of a team, to communicate clearly and convincingly.
Smaller classes, close contact with faculty and links with Alverno alumnae
working in these professions give you an advantage. Alverno's internship program
gives you the opportunity to work alongside and be mentored by a faculty mentor
at an area professional school, a physician at a clinic or a lead researcher
at a medically oriented laboratory. Many professional health schools desire
this type of practical and applied preparation in their candidates for admission.
