Premedicine and Allied Health Professions

Davidson has a rich tradition in the preprofessional training of medical health professionals, and its students are, and continue to become, leaders in the medical and dental profession.

The liberal arts education you receive here prepares you, as a future health services provider, to meet the challenges and shoulder the responsibilities that await you.

The Premedicine and Allied Health Professions program emphasizes allopathic medicine (M.D.), though the program director and advisers can provide information and resources related to other health professions, including osteopathic medicine, podiatric medicine, dental medicine, pharmacy, optometry, physical therapy, physician's assistant, public health, nursing, etc.

First-year and sophomore students should attend the fall semester Premedicine and Allied Health Professions director's meeting; and then meet individually with Naila Mamoon (namamoon@davidson.edu), program director, early in your college career to discuss a plan of study.
