About the Pre-Health Advising Office

Welcome to the Pre-Health Advising Office for the University of Wyoming! The pre-health advisors are available for prospective UW students, for current UW students in all majors on campus, for UW alumni, and for any Wyoming residents who are exploring a career in health or allied health. We serve as career advisors for current students as they navigate their journey to and through application to professional school for a number of professions in healthcare and allied health. Please see our Heath Professions page to see some careers our office works with students to achieve. 

Our office provides workshops on various topics and facilitates visiting speakers from various healthcare professions and professional schools. To stay abreast of our events and other opportunities for learning, sign up for our e-mail list for timely reminders! We inform students about the ways to prepare for the careers they are exploring. And we are available for people on any part of their journey, so don’t hesitate to contact us for an appointment! For those who are applying to graduate professional school, we provide consultation and can review any part of the application. For information about ways to fund your undergraduate and graduate professional education, see our Funding Your Education page.

If you are an incoming freshman, you may find information on this Frequently Asked Questions site useful, even if you are not a College of Health Sciences student. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any additional questions!

Two things to keep in mind:

1. This journey is your own! Do not compare yourself with others. We are here to serve YOU on YOUR journey, so stay in touch with us.

2. This website is not designed to be a replacement for meeting with us, so please stay in touch. Pre-health students tend to progress better on their journey if they meet with a pre-health advisor early and often.

We look forward to working with you!
