At Loyola, there are more than 85 student organizations. Within Pre-Health, there are 2 organizations you can join. These include Health Professions Organization (HPO) and the Minority Association of Pre-Medicine Students (MAPS). We encourage you to learn about these organizations and get involved. They offer various resources and mentorship to help students navigate the Pre-Health field.
