Calling all First-year/Sophomore Pre-Health Students!
All students considering a career in the health professions are encouraged to attend the virtual Pre-Health FY/SO Info Session on Tuesday, 9/21/2021 from 7:30-8:30 PM with Hannah Benz, Mary Lothrop and members of the Pre-Health Society, UR-STEM, and Women in Health Sciences.
If you are thinking about a career in Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Sciences, Nursing, PA, PT or another health profession, come learn how a successful application is much more than good grades. There will be ample time allotted for Q & A.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Health Professions & Science Research Advising are MOVING
The Health Professions and STEM Advising Team of Mary Lothrop and Hannah Benz announces their move from the Center for Careers and Internships (CCI) to the Center for Teaching, Learning and Research (CTLR). The team will be part of the Fellowships and Undergraduate Research Office which aligns advising and programmatic functions that are similar in purpose, and expands and enhances advising for both fellowships in the sciences and for health professions students.
What does this mean for students interested in data science/analytics & technology?
Data science/analytics and technology advising will remain at CCI in the capable hands of Jeff Sawyer. Folks who are interested in these fields can schedule appointments with Jeff through Handshake, will receive information about upcoming career field events and news through the blog and Sunday evening newsletter, and should continue to engage in career exploration and development programs through CCI.
What does this mean for students interested in health professions & science research?
We will no longer be making appointments via Handshake and instead ask that you e-mail Mary or Hannah directly should you wish to set up a health professions or science research advising appointment. Additionally, we will be publicizing our events through the CTLR website and Presence so keep an eye out for communications from us about deadlines, workshops, panels, and information sessions.
We are also in the process of migrating our resources over to the CTLR website, where you’ll soon be able access information about pre-health preparation, including Academic Course Requirements and the Medical School Application Timeline.
Under the guidance of Associate Dean Lisa Gates, we are excited to collaborate with the entire CTLR team, and look forward to working with you in our new campus home.

Complete your CCI Student Code of Conduct
The Student Code of Conduct survey establishes the guidelines by which you may access and apply to opportunities posted in Handshake. Please complete this three-question survey as soon as possible to show that you commit to internship and job search ethics. To take the survey, log in to Handshake and click Career Center > Surveys.
- MISREPRESENTATION: I will represent myself accurately in all application processes (resumes, cover letters, interviews, program applications). Examples of misrepresentation may also include GPA inflation, exaggerated job responsibilities, citizenship/visa status, or overstated foreign language competency.
- SCHEDULED INTERVIEWS: I will arrive 10 minutes prior to all scheduled on-campus interviews. If I need to cancel a scheduled interview, I will notify my career center at least two business days prior to the scheduled on-campus interview. Late cancellations, no shows, and tardiness may forfeit my on-campus recruiting privileges.
- OFFERS: After I accept an internship or job offer, I agree to immediately withdraw all pending applications and cancel all scheduled interviews (on- and off-campus). I will notify my career center that I have accepted an offer.
You must complete this survey in order to apply for campus recruiting opportunities or schedule an interview or alumni one-on-one chat.
