Learning Outside the Classroom: Health Professions
Professional schools are interested in well-rounded applicants who demonstrate a realistic understanding of the field they wish to enter, excellent communication skills, emotional maturity, compassion and empathy, and breadth and depth of direct, hands-on experience.
Knowing why you want to enter the profession is key.
Volunteer, internship, and community service work are all great ways to demonstrate your commitment and discover your own why. If you don’t know all the answers yet, you’re in the right place! Start by following your passions and your curiosity.
