About Us
Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental Advising is part of the University of Connecticut's Office of Pre-Professional Advising, which provides resources and advising to UConn students and alumni interested in pursuing careers in the health professions. Our office specializes in working with our pre-medical and pre-dental populations, but we encourage all students to explore their career options in health fields. Our advisors focus on competency-based advising, encouraging students and future applicants to engage in self reflection, rigorous pursuit of academic enrichment, and intentional exploration of co-curricular activities and engagement. Meet our advisors here, and learn more about our advising offerings here.
At the Pre-Professional Advising Office, we recognize the importance of Black and Brown lives, acknowledge systems of oppression, and center diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of our work. To this end, we are committed to a sustained, holistic approach to advising that supports and celebrates the success of students from historically marginalized, underrepresented groups.
Get Started
Welcome, Class of 2028! Please see this "getting started" guide to begin your pre-health journey at UConn.

You must be subscribed to the newsletter to receive updates about the application process and relevant deadlines.
