Premedical/Pre-health advisors provide services for Harvard College students and alumni pursuing health-related fields: human medicine (allopathic medicine or osteopathic medicine), dental medicine, veterinary medicine, nursing, and other health fields such as optometry, pharmacy, podiatry, and physical therapy. Due to specific funding regulations arranged through Harvard College, our office cannot offer Harvard Extension School students premedical and pre-health advising.
