Pre-Health Check-Up is a drop-in service for students who want to check-up on their engagement with pre-health opportunities in order to build their resume, confirm their plans or consider which aspect of their development to focus on next.  We are here to provide support and encouragement to help you find your next step forward.

If you need help with long-term graduate school planning, please make an appointment with a career counselor at clacareer.appointments.umn.edu.
