The pre-med track at Dominican University prepares students for careers in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and other healthcare careers. The Health Professions advisor ensures that required courses for post-graduate education in medicine are chosen, provides advice on seeking internship and shadowing opportunities, and guides students through the testing and application processes.

For those entering medical or dental school, coursework must be completed that both satisfies graduate school requirements and pre-pares them to perform well on the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) or Dental Admission Test (DAT). Since these schools often have varying admissions requirements, it is important to work closely with both the academic advisor and Health Professions advisor to ensure these requirements are met.

* For students pursuing post-graduate work in a Physician Assistant program, General Physics II is generally not required. Instead, an alernative science or biology elective with a lab should be chosen.
** Biology majors must, at minimum, successfully complete Calculus I with a C or better.
*** Psychology and Social Science are suggested as electives.
