Our Mission

The Office of Health Professions Advising serves all UC Davis undergraduates, graduate students, and alumni pursuing any health profession or allied health field.  Advisors use a holistic approach while providing support and feedback during academic and application preparation. We encourage students to be proactive and reflective during their career decision-making. Our goal is for students to become successful applicants who demonstrate compassion, leadership, teamwork, and a commitment to academic success throughout their journey toward a health professions career.

Health Professions Advising is your go-to place if you are planning to pursue a health profession or allied health field. We offer one-on-one advising, as well as a variety of small group and large group sessions. If you would like to see more of a certain health profession, or if you have general feedback, please don't hesitate to tell us.
