Careers in Healthcare
Careers in Healthcare is a comprehensive, four-year pre-professional program that provides College students and alumni with the resources and support to develop an individualized portfolio of knowledge, experiences, and competencies required for advanced study in health and medicine.
Careers in Healthcare supports students interested in a full range of health professions including allopathic (MD) and osteopathic (DO) medicine, public health (MPH), dental (DDS and DMD), podiatric (DPM) practice, nursing (BA to MSN), veterinary medicine (DVM), pharmacy (Pharm.D), and health services research (PhD). We also advise students and alumni with an interest in non-clinical career paths in health and medicine including fields such as health care consulting, health policy, and health care administration.

Advising and Scheduling an Appointment
Careers in Healthcare students can draw on the program advisers’ wealth of experience for career exploration, pre-medicine curriculum planning, and medical school applications. Careers in Healthcare advisers are available year-round for half-hour, one-on-one advising appointments. To schedule an appointment with your adviser, log in to Inspire at https://uchicago.inspire.civitaslearning.com. You can find instructions on how to use Inspire in the Resource Center.

No appointments are necessary for walk-in hours.
