How to Schedule a Pre-Health Appointment

Current Students:

Appointments are available via phone, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or In-Person throughout the academic year, including Winter, Spring and Summer breaks. We recommend scheduling your appointment early (during weeks 2-5). The College of Arts and Science Advising shifts to all staff on drop-in during week 7-9 for registration support. The pre-health advising team shifts to supporting the Natural Science Advising team during this period of time. Visit drop-in hours if you have an urgent question or need support with class scheduling.

UO Alumni: 

UO Pre-Health Advising provides support to UO Alumni up to 3 years after graduation (exceptions made for first or second time applicants to a health-related graduate program). If you are a pre-health alumni and no longer have access to navigate for scheduling, please call our front desk at 541-346-9200 to schedule an appointment or email us with any general questions.
