Our PreMed and PreHealth Advising Program offers the Medical Applicant Portal (MAP), an online resource for Northeastern students and alumni to declare their pre—professional status and receive information and updates, develop a portfolio of activities and experiences, and collect letters of evaluation and application materials.
The rigor of applying to professional school shouldn’t negatively impact a student’s health or well-being. At Northeastern, we are dedicated to helping students balance the pressures of the application process with the need to maintain mental and physical health and wellbeing. Our team of advisors makes this a regular part of the conversation.
PreMed and PreHealth Advising supports students pursuing Pre-Medical (MD/DO, Pre Dental, Pre-Optometry, Pre-Physician Assistant, Pre-Podiatry, and Pre-Veterinary areas).
