Alumni Connections with HPA

Pursuing Prehealth Interests Postgrad

HPA continues to support Princeton alumni after they have graduated.

Changing careers: We frequently advise alumni on postbac prehealth paths. Postbac programs can help you "start from scratch" if you decide on medicine after graduation or enhance your academic credentials as you continue your pursuit of medicine.
Applying to professional school: Whether you took your premedical prerequisite courses at Princeton or elsewhere, HPA is happy to provide support and access to resources on all aspects of the application cycle. We recommended contacting the office in the fall prior to the intended application to get connected.
Letters of recommendation: Alumni who meet eligibility criteria may request a committee letter of evaluation.

For alumni ineligible for or not interested in receiving a committee letter, HPA provides a letter collection service and facilitates the collection and transmission of letters of recommendation at no charge.

If you'd like to "pay it forward" as an alumni health professional, we offer many ways to do so.

The Doctor is In Speaker Series: Alumni guests join us for an hour-long, informal conversation. They share their career trajectory and advice for aspiring health professionals, then answer questions and engage in conversation with participants.

We welcome guests from all professions--not just medicine. If you'd like to participate as a Doctor is In speaker, please contact us!

Postgrad Job Opportunities: HPA maintains a post-grad job board. If you're hiring, we invite you to post your opportunity with us.

HPA Shadowing List: We maintain a directory of health professionals who are willing to have students shadow them on the job. If shadowing is infeasible, you may also indicate an interest in providing informational interviews to discuss your career and offer advice. To participate, please sign up here.
