Pre-Med Advising
Build your foundation for medical school success.
Success in medical school admission requires a robust combination of academic excellence, high MCAT scores and a versatile profile of clinical and research experiences.
Creighton’s pre-medicine advising helps you turn your interest in medicine into a clear, achievable plan. Through dedicated mentoring, students learn to navigate the complexities of the application process and secure the supportive letters of recommendation necessary for competitive candidacy.
Along the way, you’ll develop the skills, resilience and commitment needed not just for medical school—but for a life in service to others.
Pre-Med Advising
As a pre-med student, you’ll work closely with advisors in the Center for Advising Resources and Support to build a strong, competitive application.
You’ll have access to:
- One-on-one advising to plan coursework and stay on track
- Mock interviews to prepare for professional school admissions
- Personal statement guidance to help you tell your story with confidence
- Support finding clinical, shadowing and internship experiences
- Research mentorship through CURAS to connect with faculty and on-campus opportunities
With consistent support and hands-on experience, you’ll graduate prepared to apply with confidence.
Pre-Med Society
The Pre-Medical Society is a student-led organization dedicated to fostering a collaborative environment for all Creighton students pursuing careers in medicine. By connecting peers through medical symposiums and professional panels, the society bridges the gap between undergraduate studies and the healthcare field. Members are encouraged to pursue leadership roles and engage in vital research or volunteering opportunities to strengthen their professional profiles. This immersive community empowers future physicians to explore their vocation while building a competitive foundation for medical school success.
Pre-Med Pathway
Charting a Course Toward a Career in Medicine
While many students search for specific pre-med majors, the pre-medicine track at Creighton is a professional pathway rather than a singular field of study. Students are encouraged to choose a major that reflects their personal interests and supports a parallel career plan, as admissions committees value intellectual engagement across all disciplines. Whether pursuing the sciences or the humanities, students can successfully master the essential background required for medical school. This flexibility allows for a unique academic profile while ensuring a rigorous foundation for the challenges of a medical curriculum.
Take Your Preparation Further with CPPSP
For students looking for an added level of structure and support, the Creighton Pre-Professional Scholars Program (CPPSP) offers enhanced advising, defined benchmarks and, in select pathways, guarantees for Creighton’s professional programs. Admission is selective and based on academic readiness and commitment to a professional path. Each CPPSP track includes defined criteria for participation.
