Health Professions Advising Committee

Perhaps the greatest advantage of Kenyon's pre-medical program is the Health Professions Advising Committee. The committee's faculty members, along with the pre-medical advisor, help students prepare their medical school applications and submit a detailed recommendation letter that addresses the student's academic abilities, personal characteristics, and commitment to the health care field. Medical school deans appreciate having one thorough letter that explains and supports a student's abilities.

The committee typically includes the following faculty members:
