The Health Professions Committee

The Health Professions Committee is comprised of faculty from the sciences and mathematics, and is chaired by Dr. Ted Johnson (Biology Department). It provides both informal advising and a formal service to students interested in medical, dental, and many other health careers.

Applying to Professional Schools

Here are some resources to help you explore the application process for health-related professional schools:

 

How to Set Up an HPC Interview

  • Fill out an Interview Form (student use ONLY) to request a Health Professions Interview. You can type this form, but you will not be able to save it unless you have Adobe Writer; print, sign, and submit the form to Karen Renneke (RNS 336).
  • Choose 3-5 faculty to fill out a Reference Form (faculty use ONLY).  Ask individuals receiving the forms to return them in approximately two weeks. This form is for all schools, including medical, dental, and other health profession related schools. Students may ask members of the HPC to fill out a form if they know the student well. Students should NOT use the forms for anyone outside of St. Olaf – those recommendations will factor in later in the process. You can type this form, but you will not be able to save it unless you have Adobe Writer; faculty should print, sign, and submit this form to Karen Renneke (RNS 336) in a confidential envelope.
  • Print and submit an unofficial grade audit (which you can obtain from the Student Information System) to Karen Renneke (RNS 336).

Email Alias
