Health Professions Advisory Committee
Arizona State University's West campus
Many students at ASU’s West campus enroll at the university with aspirations of pursuing a career in one of the health professions. These careers normally require completion of an undergraduate baccalaureate degree as well as a graduate or professional degree in an area such as allopathic medicine (M.D.), osteopathic medicine (D.O.), dentistry, veterinary medicine, optometry, podiatry, chiropractic medicine, pharmacy, public health, physician assistant, or nursing. The Health Professions Advisory Committee at ASU’s West campus was established to help students pursue these careers by providing good academic advice and guidance through the admissions process.
For more specific advice, students are encouraged to consult with a member of the Committee. These members currently include:
Dr. Charles E. Deutch, Department of Integrated Natural Sciences (Chair)
Dr. Pamela A. Marshall, Department of Integrated Natural Sciences
Dr. Peter W. Jurutka, Department of Integrated Natural Sciences
Ms. Sue Lafond, Advisor, Department of Integrated Natural Sciences
