Washington and Lee University offers students interested in pursuing a career in the health professions a vast array of resources. Starting in their first year, students will work closely with the pre-health advisor to plan courses required for admission, available summer opportunities, and their timeline for applying. In addition, pre-health students are encouraged to select any undergraduate major and should use the liberal arts education to develop strong ethical reasoning, communication skills, critical thinking and problem-solving, research and analytical skills, adaptability, interpersonal skills, and creativity and innovation.
