Health Professions Resources
This resource center is designed for students who have been accepted into a Health Professions program. Please note that all of the programs listed below (except for Medical Assistant and Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation) utilize a selective admissions process.
If you are interested in applying to a selective program, be sure to review and complete the admissions requirements.
Next Steps After Being Accepted To A Health Professions Program:
- Watch the recording Health Professions Orientation zoom session.
- Scroll down to find and download the Acceptance Checklist under your Program heading. Remember to print the checklist one-sided so that all forms print correctly.
- Mark your calendars for your program orientation (discussed at the Health Career Orientation and listed in your Acceptance Checklist).
- Watch the Clearances and Health Requirements and myRecordTracker PowerPoint recordings listed under the Recorded PowerPoints heading for detailed information and clarification on the instructions contained in your Acceptance Checklist.
Important Notes:
- You cannot register for your program/clinical course until you have attended the mandatory program orientation.
- You will not receive your invitation to create your myRecordTracker account until 2-3 weeks AFTER you have received your acceptance. Please be patient! Remember to check your spam folder also, and if you still haven’t received the invitation after 3 weeks, please contact your Program Director.
