Pre-Health

Saint Martin’s University has a long and successful history of placing learners into professional programs. The University offers pre-health instruction that prepares them for admission into professional healthcare graduate schools including medical schools, osteopathic medical schools, dental schools, physical therapy schools, pharmacy schools and chiropractic colleges. The necessary preparatory pre-health curriculum varies from one field of study to another and from one graduate school to another.

Pre-Health Programs usually Include: • Clinical work during a student’s undergraduate career is often preferred — and sometimes required — prior to acceptance into a professional healthcare school. These experiences are available through the department of biology’s internship program. • Students enrolled in pre-health programs will be assigned a pre-health advisor. The advisor will design coursework that best fits individual needs and goals. Pre-health advising is provided through the biology department at Saint Martin’s. Pre-health students may select any major field of study in pursuit of their degree, assuming that the relevant pre-health requirements are met as outlined above.

Students are required to specify in the application portal their desired focus within Pre-Health: Pre-Dental, Pre-Medicine, Pre-Optometry, Pre-Pharmacy, Pre-Physical Therapy, or Pre-Veterinary.
