Pre-Med | Rockhurst University

Rockhurst pre-med students have access to a wide variety of opportunities and resources, including health-related clubs and fraternities, volunteering opportunities, pre-health advisors and research opportunities. Students interested in attending an M.D. or D.O. medical school complete pre-med courses and a bachelor’s degree at Rockhurst.

As one of the prerequisites for medical school, our advisors help students take the MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test) and gain clinical experience through volunteering, shadowing or paid positions. Leadership experience and undergraduate research are additional valuable components of a medical school application. Advisors work closely with pre-med students to discuss all elements of their application, and the pre-health committee provides a holistic review of application materials, an authentic interview experience and a letter of evaluation.
