Convince us that you can handle a health professions school and career. Hint: Filling out the documents on Candidate Development will be important in your communications with us. It is also VITAL for organizing your applications.

These Canvas pages give you numerous opportunities and resources, as does the HPAP website through Salisbury University. Before you meet with the faculty member in your field (please look under: https://www.salisbury.edu/academic-offices/advising-center/hpap/) and/or Dr. Berns (look to your faculty mentors for your class schedule - but for other general questions not answered on MyClasses and the HPAP website - ask Dr. Berns). Please look at the resources already made available to you first. This will make your meeting with us MUCH more informative to you. Our goal is your success. Please help us assist you by assisting yourself first.*

PLEASE NOTE: We are no longer doing committee letters! Rather, we encourage you to go to the Writing Center and Career Services for assistance. This is not yet set up but rather, more information will be posted soon!
