About HPA 101 and 202

Held several times each fall and spring semester [when set, dates and times will be listed on this page], these sessions cover basic information about undergraduate preparation for and applying to a graduate health program. Attendance is highly recommended so that your one-on-one appointments can be concentrated on your specific questions, rather than generalities. More details below.
