Health Science Coaches
Along with the Pathways Program staff and PHSRC staff, Health Science Coaches work with Pathways students during the academic year to provide mentorship from the perspective of a current health science professional student.
All Health Science Coaches are students who are currently in their health professional program, and they act as a resource for the Pathways students, sharing their tips and strategies on preparing for a health professional program, and conveying insights about being a current health science student. They are encouraged to also share their own experiences as an undergraduate pre-health student, and opportunities they have taken advantage of during and after their undergraduate degree before applying for their programs.
