All Cook College students are eligible for the services of the Health Professions Advising Center on the Busch campus in Nelson Biology Laboratories A-119. This center advises all Rutgers students interested in careers in medicine, dentistry, and related health professions. In addition to advising, the center maintains the student`s file and letters of evaluation, supplies application materials for examinations and professional schools, coordinates workshops, and publishes a monthly newsletter of events and deadlines. The center also maintains a library of materials pertaining to careers in the health professions.
All Cook College students wishing to pursue a career in the health professions must register with the Health Professions Advising Center as early in their academic career as possible, to begin maintaining a file. The Cook College Office of Academic and Student Programs also provides individual counseling pertaining to health careers. Interested students should make an appointment with Dean Joseph Ventola in Martin Hall, second floor.
