Mason alumni: Health Professions Advising

This service is part of Student Academic Affairs and Advising and is open to all Mason community members interested in pursuing a graduate degree in the health professions.

Administrators > Mason Alumni at Health Professional Programs

Where the Mason Alumni Are

Here is a list of recent Mason baccalaureate students who were admitted into an allopathic medical program. If there is no name listed, the alumnus did not disclose his/her application information to share with the Health Professions Advisor.

If a name is missing from this list, please contact Dr. Chuck to be included. Similarly, if you would like your name removed, let Dr. Chuck know.

Most of our students tend to be enrolled in Virginia medical schools as there is preference given to Virginia residents.

We will strive to include additional information from other health professions programs as the applicants self-report their success with Dr. Chuck.

Highlighted areas indicate osteopathy (pink background), dentistry (gold), optometry (orange), pharmacy (light blue) podiatry (purple), veterinary medicine (light yellow), or combined degree matriculants (green).
