In this program, students will participate in specific activities that encourage ongoing exploration of the health care field and prepare them for success in this highly competitive arena. Activities include workshops, classes, one-on-one advising, and professional observation and volunteer experiences. Students completing the program are well prepared to submit a holistically competitive application to outstanding professional programs.
Students should review the program guidelines for comprehensive information on the program requirements, eligibility, and applications.
Although any Florida Southern College student may pursue a pre-health career, only the most competitive students will be accepted into Pre-Health Professional Program. See program details for more information.
