Pre-Veterinary Medicine
Medicine and Health CareLike most liberal arts colleges, Eckerd does not have a formal pre-health program. While there is no standard way for students to prepare for entrance into medical school, there are a number of different approaches that can be taken by Pre-health students to prepare them for the next step. The defining characteristic of these approaches is that they are developed as the result of an ongoing conversation between a student, his or her academic mentor, and the Pre-Health advisor, who provides advice based on the recommendations of the Pre-Health Committee – a group of professors from various disciplines who make it their job to pay attention to acceptance trends for various medical schools and disciplines.
Eckerd graduates have been successful in gaining admission to medical schools.
It is never too early to begin thinking about planning out your education in a way that will enhance your chances of getting into medical school. Whether you’re thinking of allopathic medicine, veterinary medicine, osteopathic medicine or dentistry, having a plan early on will be invaluable to you later.
