HPA Peer Advisors are trained to help their peers plan for their health professions futures. They can assist with prerequisite course review, timeline planning, finding extracurricular activities, and other awesome opportunities. Peer advisors undergo an extensive selection and training process to serve Health Professions Advising.

Initial HPA advising appointments for all students occur with peer advisors. Please feel free to contact any of them for assistance. You can find them in the HPA Office in Holmes Convocation during the academic year, Tues-Thurs afternoons. Feel free to drop by and make an appointment or sign up on our calendar.
