In addition to excelling in the pre-requisite coursework and entrance exam, schools of the health professions expect prospective applicants to have developed a rich portfolio of experiences that have informed their understanding of health care, challenged their intellect, and demonstrated their commitment to others. Prospective applicants are strongly recommended to get involved in clinical experience, research experience, civic engagement, student clubs and organization.
