HPAC is available to students who are interested in one of the following fields:

• Dental
• Medical
• Optometry
• Podiatry

These particular professional schools prefer a Committee Letter of Recommendation from your 4-year university, and our HPAC provide such a letter.  This video further explains the definition of a committee letter and its value.

HPAC is offered each spring semester for those getting ready to apply to their schools in the following summer. Students will have one interview with our Assistant Dean or Senior Academic Counselor and one interview with a faculty member on the committee. At the end of the semester, the committee will then meet to evaluate each applicant; the feedback received from the various committee members will be used to write the Committee Letter of Recommendation.

As an HPAC applicant, the Office of Health Professions will also submit all of your letters of recommendation on your behalf. These letters are included with the Committee Letter, also known as the Committee Letter Packet. Once all letters of recommendation are received by our offfice, the Committee Letter Packet will then be uploaded to your preferred application services.
