Allied Health Smart Start Orientation

Smart Start Orientation provides Allied Health students with a realistic view of competitive admission processes and the commitment required to be successful in Allied Health programs. Completion of the Smart Start Orientation is mandatory before you apply to a Health Science program.

At Allied Health Smart Start students will:

• Attend a general session that will cover information essential to all Allied Health applicants
• Attend a breakout session that will give more specific information about your major or area of interest
• Meet program directors, faculty, advisors, and career development specialists in the School of Allied Health

Welcome to our Fall 2022 Smart Start

After attending the General Session, you will be required to choose from one of the breakout sessions. In order to have your Smart Start hold removed, you will be required to complete the general session and at least one breakout session. After completing your first breakout session you may attend an optional second breakout session with one of the other programs. This is a good opportunity to explore different career paths in Allied Health, so we highly encourage students to take advantage of this opportunity.
