Prehealth Group
Advising Sessions

Group Advising Sessions cover larger topics and are used to disseminate information about topics ranging from a Health Professions Overview to workshops developing a personal statement.  By offering Group Advising, Prehealth Advisers can efficiently disseminate information, reach a broader student audience, ensure consistency across advising, optimize resources, and foster community among health track students. The recordings for these sessions (and all previous sessions done via zoom) can be found on the Prehealth Advising SharePoint Page. No registration is required to attend. Most Prehealth Group Advising sessions will be held remotely, except where noted. FAQ portions may not be included in the recorded session, so attending a live session is very valuable. 

You can access the sessions by joining the Group Advising Zoom Room:  https://psu.zoom.us/j/91781685538

Our Prehealth Group Advising sessions are recorded and stored within our Prehealth SharePoint page. Current students and alumni can request access to the page here.
