As the Coordinator of Pre-Health Professions Advising at Messiah College, I’d like to welcome you to our website for the Pre-Health Professions Advising Program (PHPAP). This website has been designed to provide resources for students and graduates of Messiah College who are interested in applying to medical school and other health-related professional schools. Our on-campus advising services assist students in all aspects of their preparation and application for further study, including the three major areas considered most important by medical schools and graduate-level healthcare programs: achieving and maintaining a strong academic record; thorough test preparation for career-specific aptitude tests (such as the MCAT); and exposure to, and the opportunity to participate in, meaningful medically related experiences.

At Messiah, we divide our advising services into two categories based on the entrance requirements of the specific programs and this website is arranged in the same manner. Pre-med advising includes allopathic and osteopathic medicine. All other health-related careers are included under pre-health advising, and a partial list of these specialities is included in the navigation column of this PHPAP home page. Advising for our pre-physical therapy, nursing, and dietetics students is handled by their respetive departments, and links to them are included in the navigation portion of this page.

Veterinary Technology (VETT) prepares students with knowledge and skills necessary to provide general veterinary nursing care and technical
assistance in the varied disciplines found in the practice of veterinary medicine and surgery. These include nurse anesthetist, operating room
technician, radiology technician, dental hygienist, medical laboratory technician, as well as clinical and practice management. The program is
recognized by the Nevada State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners and is currently preparing for accreditation evaluation by the American

to sit for state and national licensing examinations and enter into practice as a licensed veterinary technician. The Veterinary Technology
Program has entered into a unique partnership with the Western Veterinary Conference that allows sharing of resources such as facilities, equipment,
and educational opportunities to augment the student’s learning experience. This partnership also makes available nationally and internationally
recognized Doctors of Veterinary Medicine that act as visiting instructors in many disciplines. Entrance requirements into this
Certificate program require documented 4,000 hours work experience in a veterinary practice.

Veterinary medicine is one of the fastest growing professions in the country, and Warren Wilson College graduates have been very successful in gaining admission to schools of veterinary medicine. Students may fulfill the entrance requirements for veterinary schools by earning a B.S. degree in Biology or Chemistry. Veterinary schools expect applicants to have had experience in studying and caring for animals, and pre-vet students work on the Farm crew for two years, caring for and managing all aspects of the pig and cattle herds. The combination of a good academic background, Farm Crew experience, and the discipline from the Warren Wilson College Triad educational program benefit the student in applying to veterinary medicine programs and in future professional work. An additional strength of the pre-veterinary medicine program at Warren Wilson College is that the pre-veterinary advisor is a licensed veterinarian with a Ph.D. in animal behavior.
