Health Professions Advisory Committee
The Health Professions Advisory Committee is composed of faculty members who will help you through the application process. Specifically, HPAC will prepare a letter of evaluation for you that will become an important part of your application to professional programs. HPAC collects recommendations from faculty members, physicians and peers, transcripts, an updated resume and a brief autobiographical sketch from each student and then meets with the students in a formal interview session. Using this information, along with personal knowledge of the student, HPAC compiles a 'committee letter' that paints a complete picture of you as a person and as a future health care provider.
The current HPAC members are:
- Michael King, PhD, Professor of Biology, Committee Chair
- Rick Medlin, PhD, Professor of Psychology
- Michele Skelton, PhD, Associate Professor of Health Sciences
- Lynn Kee, PhD, Assistant Professor of Biology
- Paul Sibbald, PhD, Associate Professor of Chemistry
- Erica Goldstein, PhD, Assistant Professor of Health Sciences
- Natalie Bittles, PhD, MHA, Health Professions Advisor
