Ensure a comprehensive and integrated health professions advising and career development experience that focuses on exploration, discovery, goal setting, and networking in partnership with a student’s academic advisor, academic coach, career services advisor, faculty, and other student success professionals.
Conduct individual and group pre-health advising, addressing topics including:
- Exploration of various healthcare careers, which may include providing guidance on using career exploration resources, conducting informational interviews, connecting with other pre-health oriented students, community networking within the health professions field, and using campus resources.
- Evaluate individual students’ experiential skills and career goals to make recommendations related to career paths and graduate/professional school, and support students in personalizing their pre-health path(s) at CU Boulder.

Collaborate and create cross-campus relationships with faculty, advisors, administrators, and student support professionals on campus and liaise with advisors across campus, building and maintaining vital relationships.
Develop and deliver health professions related content for New Student Welcome programming and other key recruitment experiences and college engagement events.
