The Pre-Health Action Plan is designed to emulate the application systems used to apply to health professional schools. For each Pre-Health advising appointment, it is required that you have this completed to the best of your ability and submitted by the start time of your appointment.
Instructions
- Download and save the Pre-Health Action Plan.
- Complete Pages 1-4*, and the remaining sections to the best of your ability.
- Submit your Pre-Health Action Plan here: forms.office.com/r/AQVF7w2Uwc
- Important: You must be signed-in with your GMU email to access this form. If unable to, please email prehlth@gmu.edu.
*If you have not received any final grades (ex. you are still in your first semester of college), you may skip Page 3 – Academics.
The action plan is designed to ensure an efficient and productive advising meeting and move you toward your health profession goals. If you are unable to complete the appropriate portions of the plan by your scheduled appointment time, consider rescheduling to a later date so that we can maximize our time together.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is preferred that your Pre-Health Action Plan be completed at the time of scheduling your appointment; however, students have until the start time of their advising appointment to submit.

The goal of this document is to fully prepare students to applying to health professional school and exposing them early to the requirements to do so. When you apply, the process is extremely time-consuming and we hope to alleviate that burden by encouraging you to start early documenting your progress. Every applicant’s journey looks different, so it would be impossible to have the expectation of specific required sections.
For a first-year student, it is understandable that you may not have taken any coursework yet, so you are unable to calculate a GPA; however, it would be expected to have the first page and Coursework sections completed. In contrast, a student applying this upcoming cycle would be expected to have a majority (if not all) sections of this document to be completed. If you have questions or would like confirmation that your Pre-Health Action Plan is acceptable before scheduling, please email prehlth@gmu.edu.
