IIT PreMedical Advisory Committee

The PreMedical Advisory Committee—comprised of a chair, program coordinator and faculty advisors—provides overall direction for the PreMedical programs at IIT and serves as a body of student advisors.

Once students choose a major, they are assigned a PreMedical advisor from their department. Advisors help with course scheduling, monitor academic progress, and identify volunteer and research opportunities. Advisors also help with the medical school admission process, including:

	Preparing students for the Medical College Admission Test, or MCAT, in the third year of undergraduate study.
	Collecting letters of recommendation.
	Forwarding applications to medical schools designated by students.

These committee members are also student advisors.
