Early Assurance Program 2012

The Loyola University Chicago College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) and Stritch School of Medicine (SSOM) are pleased to announce a program which allows Loyola’s undergraduate students to be considered for early admission to SSOM. This program is designed to assist students throughout stages of premedical planning by helping to define and broaden their academic interests. Concomitantly, through a variety of educational opportunities, students will explore and learn more about the medical profession.

In order to be considered for EAP, you must submit your completed application to the Office of Pre-Health and Pre-Law Advising (Sullivan Center, 262A) no later than 5:00 pm on Monday, April 16, 2012.

The Office of Pre-Health Advising offers assistance to Loyola's undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students interested in pursuing health professional careers. For those students unsure of exactly what field to choose or who want general information to begin their search, the Office of Pre-Health Advising is the place to start.

We are available during the academic year, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
During the academic year, we also have walk-in hours daily, Monday through Friday, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Our office provides a variety of services for students to guide them through the seemingly confusing road of health professional careers and applications. The services provided include:

• Personal advising on health careers focusing on the individual interests of the student
• An extensive resource library with materials focusing on different health professions. Our library provides the starting point in the search.
• A variety of workshops to serve the needs of our students. The information you receive is invaluable.
• Information on various local volunteer opportunities
• A streamlined application process that gives students the opportunity to work more closely with the Pre-Health Office
• Frequent updates from the Pre-Health Staff on health career events and activities
• Referrals to other university resources

Contact our office to obtain general information and admission requirements of the health professional schools.

We look forward to assisting you as you work toward your goals.
