PreMed and PreHealth Advising Program
The PreMed and PreHealth Advising Program at Northeastern University is a premier advising unit within the Office of the Provost, dedicated to empowering students and alumni on their path to health professional schools. We provide comprehensive support to undergraduate students across Northeastern’s global campus network, as well as alumni and post-baccalaureate students in the Pre-Medical Certificate Program, guiding them toward careers in medicine, dentistry, physician assistant studies, podiatry, optometry, and veterinary medicine.
With nearly 3,000 active students and alumni, our mission extends beyond academic advising—we are building a transformative premedical education ecosystem that fosters belonging, resilience, and success. Our students achieve acceptance rates more than twice the national average at over 130 health professional schools, including some of the most competitive programs in the country.
