As a UW-Madison alum, you have access to all the advising services the Center for Pre-Health Advising offers for as long as you need them!
Whether you are progressing on a path you planned as an undergraduate or shifting to a field you discovered late in college or after graduating, we are eager to work with you as you continue to take steps toward a health profession. It is not uncommon for people to decide on a health profession after gaining experience in another field.
Let’s talk!

One-on-one Appointments
In lieu of access to Starfish, UW-Madison’s campus scheduling system, we invite alumni to fill out our Alumni Appointment Request Form to set up an appointment with a CPHA advisor.
Drop-in Advising
Have a quick pre-health question? Come to drop-in advising (in person or virtually) to meet with an advisor Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 1:00p.m. – 3:30p.m.
The drop-ins sign-up form opens 10-15 minutes before each drop-in session begins, and closes at the end of the session. The form will also close when the number of advisees in the queue reaches capacity for the session. As time allows, we may reopen the form.
Pre-Health Canvas Courses
Enroll in a free, self-paced “Applying to Programs” Canvas course! If your wisc.edu email has been deactivated, please use your NetID.
If healthcare is a new interest, begin by signing up for Pre-Health 101, our free, online orientation.
Questions Box
Can’t make it to drop-ins to get your quick questions answered? Write to our questions box at questions@prehealth.wisc.edu!
This account is monitored M-F during CST business hours. We respond to questions within 24-48 hours.
Access to Other Resources After Graduation
Access to CPHA will never go away, but some things will change after you graduate.
- Your wisc.edu email will be deactivated after 6 months.
- You will also lose access to your Google drive, Box, Qualtrics, and Zoom accounts.
- You will not lose access to Canvas, so be sure to enroll in one of our application courses that is right for you!
Join the CPHA Alumni Network
We are always looking for alumni to connect with current pre-health undergraduate students. If you are open to being a resource for someone pursuing the path you are on, we would be grateful to get your permanent email to share with current pre-health undergraduates. We will always check with you before sharing your information.
To join the network, please send your contact information to questions@prehealth.wisc.edu. Thank you!
