Who are we?
Our Advisors use a holistic approach while providing support and feedback during academic and application preparation. We encourage you to be proactive and reflective during your career decision-making. Our office is solely dedicated to pre-health students like you, and we look forward to supporting you on your pre-health journey.
The USC Dornsife Pre-Health Student Advisory Board (SAB) was established in Spring 2022. Every year a group of talented pre-health students are invited to become leaders within the pre-health office and share their unique experiences and perspectives within this important committee. This is a great opportunity to further develop your leadership skills within our office.
The SAB meets monthly throughout the academic year to discuss current topics and works together to implement strategic projects related to our-student centered programs.
