Pre-Medical/Pre-Health Advisors

The UMass Amherst Pre-Med/Pre-Health Advising Office is dedicated to helping students become competitive applicants for health professional schools.

Sophomores, juniors, and seniors, use Navigate to set an appointment with a pre-med/pre-health advisor as soon as you think you’re interested in a health career and at least once per semester moving forward. Alumni, email a pre-health advisor (contact information below) to set up an advising appointment.

First-year students, see the First-year Students page on the PreMed/PreHealth website, and use Navigate to set up an appointment with a Peer Advisor. See our list of Peer Advisors below.
