Health Careers Advising
Most students who seek advice and assistance about health careers are interested in becoming medical doctors. However, students interested in other careers, including dentistry, veterinary medicine, optometry, nursing, public health, podiatry, and pharmacy are also welcome to use the office. Resources include individual advising, a library of books about health care, information about various health profession training programs, group information sessions, and pamphlets and publications about being a pre-medical/pre-health professions student at Brown.
The Dean of Health Careers also assists students applying to medical or other health profession schools by providing them with an institutional letter of recommendation. Such a letter is strongly preferred by most medical schools and many other health profession training programs. Juniors, seniors, and recent graduates who have completed most of their science course work at Brown University are eligible for this letter of recommendation.
