The Queens College Health Professions Advisory Service Office provides advice to students who plan to apply to one of the following health professional schools: medicine, dentistry, optometry, podiatry, chiropractic, veterinary medicine and pharmacy.

To become a practitioner in any health profession, a student usually completes pre-professional studies at a four-year college or university, and then applies for admission to an accredited professional school. The length of professional training varies according to profession and degree of specialization. Physicians, for example, spend four years in medical college, followed by at least three years of additional training.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it.

- Helen Keller (1880-1968)
