Jason Holder and women’s tennis teams, returning to Springfield College after earning Pre-medical Scholars Program Announced
SpRInGFIELD CoLLEGE launched a new pre-medical scholars program this fall, creating a dedicated office for academic advising and counseling for students intending to pursue a career in medicine. The program will be directed by Mary Healey, Ph.D., ’78, G’80, former dean of the College’s School of Arts, Sciences and Professional Studies, who has been at the College for more than three decades. According to Healey, “The
pre-medical scholars program creates a dedicated focus for what we have been doing at Springfield College for a number of years. We have long advised students interested in medicine on appropriate pre-medical paths as undergraduates—from choosing the right academic courses to guiding them through the application process. In addition, we have affilia-
tions with a number of top-rated medical schools. “Because many of our graduates
have become general practitioners, dentists, orthopedic surgeons, neuro- surgeons, chiropractors and podiatrists,” said Healey, “we have alumni
working in these fields who provide internships for students. The pre-
medical scholars program centralizes all of these resources and provides
students looking to go into medicine with a unique and
supportive program.” Springfield College
currently holds a number of fast-
track affiliation agreements with medical schools, including the
University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine (UNECOM), the Medical College of Wisconsin, and the Arizona School of Health Sciences.
