The Department of Biology would like to thank everyone who took time out of their schedules this summer to write letters of recommendation for students applying for graduate programs in medicine, dentistry, optometry, physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician assistant programs, pharmacy, and more. The biology program had a record application year with over 50 applications to schools throughout the country, according to Jacquie VanHoomissen, biology. The application cycle opened on June 1 and files are continually being updated and processed through the science office in Swindells Hall. If you or your students have questions about careers in medicine or other health professions, please contact the new health professions advisor, Kyle Flann, at healthprofesions@up.edu.
