All this and more will be discussed at our first meeting to be held on Thursday, September 6 at 5:30pm in room 145C in the student union. There will be free food and drinks and Libby (the Pre-Health advisor) will be joining us to introduce herself and discuss some important information regarding the pre-health committee and being a pre-health student in general.

NEW UB PREHEALTH STUDENTS, please be sure to read The Freshman/Sophomore Handbook to have many of your questions regarding prehealth preparation answered. Please consider reviewing this document before scheduling an in-person advisement appointment.

Effective fall 2007, Prehealth Drop-In Hours will NO LONGER be offered. The decision was made after considering the feasibility of providing accurate and thoughtful advising pertaining to 6 professional health schools within 15 minute time slots. Drop-In hours have been replaced with additional appointment times available to all UB prehealth students. For an appointment, please consult “Scheduling Prehealth Appointments” and then call 716-645-6013.
We would encourage freshmen and sophomore students especially to consider coming to the workshop titled “So You Want to Be a Doctor…” PRIOR to setting an appointment. For the listing of fall 2007 workshops, please go to the main page of the Prehealth website and link on the “Workshops” tab. “So You want to be a Doctor” would also be appropriate for any one just beginning to think about choosing a professional health career in medicine, dentistry, chiopractic, optometry, podiatry and veterinary.
We are able to convey much more information in a workshop forum during an hour as opposed to a 1/2 hour appointment where you also may wish to discuss your schedule, courses, clinical exposure, etc.
Please be advised that Dalene Aylward, Prehealth Advisor for Freshmen and Sophomores, will be out of the office on Maternity Leave during May and June 2007. Dalene expects to return in July.
Freshmen and sophomores with questions should first seek the Freshmen and Sophomore Prehealth Handbook, FAQ, and Prehealth Bulletin, all on this site, for assistance and answers to their questions, and may make an appointment with any other Academic Advisor in Student Advising Services for assistance as well.
