Â鶹AV

The Health Professions Advising Office sponsors seminars, information sessions, and workshops for prehealth students. We also work collaboratively with the Dean’s Office and the Career and Civic Engagement Center to sponsor programming and to support other efforts to help students find volunteer opportunities, jobs, and internships and to engage with alumni. HPAO co-sponsors programming with the health professions advising offices at Haverford College. In addition, HPAO supports student-led Health Interest Programming to consider specific areas of health care.
