The Pre-Health Mandatory Check-Up: Formerly known as the Group Pre-Health Holistic Review (PHHR), the Pre-Health Mandatory Check-Up allows students to discuss their Pre-Health goals and holistic development, as well as determine their next steps. October 1st is the deadline to complete a 3rd/4th year Mandatory Check-Up (juniors and seniors EXCLUSIVELY), and is required to be eligible to apply for a Composite Letter in the 2017 cycle or a future cycle. If you have already completed a PHHR, you have already satisfied this requirement. Sophomores may begin to complete the 2nd-Year Mandatory Check-Up as early as October. Schedule HERE today.

How to Check-In: When visiting the PHMO, all students must sign-in at the front kiosk, whether you come for a scheduled-appointment, or if you are here to see a Peer Mentor during their Walk-In hours. Walk-In appointments may come into the office after checking in. Scheduled appointments must wait in the library until an advisor is ready to see them.

Questions, Answers, & Social Media
The PHMO has four goals. They are to (1) Introduce students to holistic development and guide them to grow into well-rounded candidates for the health professions. (2) Encourage students to self-assess: to reflect on their experiences, and their interest and readiness to pursue a career in the health professions. (3) Connect students to resources and opportunities on campus and in the community. (4) Introduce students to the skills and competencies they will need to become successful healthcare professionals.
We work with Emory undergraduates once they show interest in healthcare professions until they are ready to apply to healthcare professional schools.
