About the Program
The Health Profession Pathways program supports students from diverse backgrounds as they develop into future leaders in health professional careers.
Health Profession Pathways students will:
- Have a team of professional staff dedicated to your success
- Get matched with health professional students (medicine, pharmacy, physical therapy, etc.) with shared identities
- Build friendships with other Pathways students who have shared goals
- Participate in hands-on experiences in the U of M health science schools and colleges, as well as shadowing and observership experiences in the Twin Cities
- Learn about and acquire knowledge, skills, and qualities that will make you a competitive applicant for health profession programs
The Health Profession Pathways program provides you the opportunity to build community with other motivated pre-health students, and expand your network through meaningful connections with health professional students, faculty, and mentors.
Dedicated staff from the Pre-Health Student Resource Center will provide coaching and support as you navigate the University of Minnesota and the road to application for a health degree program.
Invitations to apply for the Fall 2025 cohort Pathways program will be sent via email in Spring 2025 to incoming admitted University of Minnesota - Twin Cities students that match Pathways eligibility criteria. More details on Pathways eligibility, the application process, and program requirements and opportunities can be found on this site.
The Health Profession Pathways program is coordinated by the Pre-Health Student Resource Center.
