General PHPAC Information

The Pre-Health Professions Advisory Committee (PHPAC) process guides, advises, and gets to know Loyola students and alumni better to evaluate them personally, academically, and on their professional orientation when applying to health professions schools. The committee cycle extends from November (fall semester) through the following summer (2022).  

Re-applicants are students and alumni who are participating in the applicant process after having submitted a medical or dental school application (via AADSAS, AMCAS, AACOMAS, and/or TMDSAS) in a prior cycle, whether or not they have requested a Committee Letter from Loyola or any other school.

NOTE: All deadlines are 5:00 PM (Central). There are no exceptions for missed deadlines; we advise you to submit materials early to avoid missing any deadlines. 

The Pre-Health Professions Advisory Committee has curated a series of resources for the Fall 2023 matriculation cycle (2023M). Whether this is your first time applying to a health professional school or not, these application resources are vital to supporting you in the process. You can also find more information about the process on our frequently asked questions page. 

Further instructions, including a comprehensive overview of the expectations, policies, and procedures ("2023M PHPAC Manual"), are available within the Application Deliverables resource page on Handshake.
