Welcome to Tufts University's Health Professions Advising Course!
This Canvas site was designed to give current AS&E students and alumni easy access to information and resources regarding the health professions, as well as more specific information pertaining to your intended career path upon graduation.
Material provided on this site will aid in your understanding of the various health profession options, course requirements, non-academic expectations, the health profession schools application timelines, as well as several other aspects of the process that will affect your career.
Before meeting with a pre-health advisor, it is expected that students will first reference this course to familiarize themselves with the pre-health track. This will make for more thoughtful conversations when we meet. Appointments are currently open to sophomores, juniors, seniors, and alumni. First year students will have access to appointments after their first semester at Tufts. Additionally, it is required that all first-year students complete modules 1-5 and the accompanying quiz before setting up an appointment in spring
We also request that all pre-health students sign up for Health-E News Links to an external site., our department's weekly informational newsletter.
