pre-dentistry

because lipscomb’s health professions preparation and advising program was formalized nearly 50 years ago, our graduates have enjoyed increasing success throughout the region and across the country. professional schools know that applicants recommended by our program are well-prepared to complete a health care education and be lifelong contributors to their professions and patients.  the cornerstone of lipscomb’s successful pre-health preparation program is the inculcation of founding principles reflecting the great physician: integrity, empathy, compassion, selflessness, intelligence, maturity, good judgment and a commitment to others. with the increasing emphasis upon teamwork and intrapersonal competencies in professional health care, such applicants are highly sought after. 

let us help you get on track in your selection of prerequisites and relevant clinical experiences that will best satisfy your professional goals. our health professions advisory office is the home base for all pre-health care students. the committee consists of knowledgeable, respected professionals and educators who are ready to assist you in each step of planning---even if you don’t yet have a plan. we’re happy to listen to your dreams, ideas, goals and questions so that we can serve as an invaluable sounding board. finally, within one or two semesters of submitting your application, you will need to request an interview with the hpac to complete your file that will serve as the basis of our letter of recommendation on your behalf.
