Are you planning on Applying to Medical, Dental, or Veterinary school in Spring 2027?

Click here and make an appointment with the Health Professions Administrative Assistant, Darwin, as soon as possible for important information about how to get started.

Welcome to those considering a career in the Health Professions!

The GCC provides counseling and organizational assistance to Wesleyan students and alumni who are applying to medical, dental, and other health-related graduate schools, and pursuing careers in fields such as public health, physicians assistant, optometry, podiatry, nursing, occupational therapy, pharmacy, and physical therapy.

NOTICE: Health Professions Resources are Migrating!

As of July 2026, we have two new Health Professions sub-channels on the GCC website; one is for Medical, Dental, & Veterinary careers and the other is Public Health, Nursing, & Allied Health Professions, which focuses on non-doctoral health careers and specialties.

If you are interested in a specific pathway, use the channels listed above to find information most relevant to you.

Otherwise, explore general health professions resources here to get started.

We also encourage you to attend hands-on workshops and other Health Professions events by registering on Handshake, and to subscribe to the HP Newsletter using the buttons below.

If you have questions or feedback, please reach out to health.professions@wesleyan.edu.
