Students who are interested in pursuing a career in the health professions of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, optometry, or the other dozen or so health-related careers can seek information through the Health Professions Advising Office at http://prehealth.gmu.edu/ .

The Health Professions Advisor is Dr. Emil Chuck (Term Assistant Professor of Biology). He is responsible for writing the institutional committee letter required for all students and alumni who are applying to medical, dental, optometry, veterinary, podiatry, and pharmacy graduate programs. He also advises all the prehealth student organizations.Students and alumni who intend to apply for admission beginning in the summer must request a committee letter in the spring semester before their application period so that the institutional letter can be completed in time.

Highly competitive sophomores should meet with Dr. Chuck early (even as freshmen) to discuss preparing applications for competitive admissions programs like the Early Selection Program at George Washington University School of Medicine (sophomore applicants only) and the Guaranteed Admissions Program at VCU School of Medicine (University Scholars Program only). There are specific GPA and test score requirements for these programs. They must also complete the pre-application process before spring break of the year of their application.
