Candidates

Interested students must submit an application and be interviewed by a panel of HCMP program directors and healthcare professionals. The applicants need to have completed several requirements that include course prerequisites in lower-division biology as well as medical terminology. Students must have completed eighty volunteer hours at a hospital or clinical setting with a minimum of forty hours in a Seton Healthcare Network clinical facility.

After turning in the application along with two letters of recommendation, an official transcript, a tentative schedule, and an essay, the students are evaluated.  The field is narrowed, and the remaining applicants are interviewed. During the interview, the applicants are faced with questions regarding their knowledge of the medical field as well as medical ethics.

HCMP holds information sessions during the middle of the spring and fall semesters at The University of Texas at Austin. Applications are available at the presentations and at the Health Professions Office following the week of the sessions.  A downloadable copy of the application will be available starting the week of information sessions.  Dates and locations of the sessions will be posted.
