About Health Professions Advising: Pre-Dental
The pre-dental program is offered through F&M’s Health Professions Advising as a supplement to your chosen major. And while you won’t declare your major until your sophomore year, your pre-dental advising will begin the moment you step on campus.
As a pre-dental student, you’ll work with the Director of Health Professions Advising throughout your time at F&M. You’ll enjoy personalized guidance on recommended courses to take and specialized programming, resources, and more to help you develop the skills and experiences you’ll need to be a competitive applicant to dental school. Whether you are looking for a summer internship, deciding when to apply to dental school, or trying to select which school to attend, the F&M’s Health Professions Advising is with you every step of the way.
F&M pre-dental students are distinctly prepared to continue forging their path to
dentistry after graduating from F&M. Many of our graduates go on to dental school
after F&M before beginning their career as a leader in the field. The individualized learning and hands-on experiences F&M provides our students gives
them an advantage in the application process. Out graduates have been admitted to
some of the nation’s top programs, including: Many F&M alumni have become leaders in dentistry, including in private practice, clinics,

and health professions. This certificate blends rich perspectives from several academic
fields to explore questions of health (including mental health and public health),

and social functions of the brain.
