Pre-Healthcare Career Office Feasibility Study

Abstract

The University of Pittsburgh has become a top choice for undergraduate students interested in pursuing medical careers.  The combination of outstanding academic programs at Pitt and nationally recognized healthcare and hospitals in Pittsburgh results in a large number of our incoming students identifying interests in healthcare related careers.  However, the academic and career support provided to pre-healthcare students at Pitt remain separated in different offices and lack coordinated efforts to assist these students.  This proposal seeks to conduct a feasibility study to determine the best path to form a centralized office for all of our pre-healthcare students at Pitt.
