They advise on course selection, finding internships and health-related experiences, and preparing for standardized tests, and they assist in all phases of the application process. The Committee prepares composite letters of evaluation of applicants and arranges for mock interviews for students prior to those at professional schools.

The direct contact of Committee members with students in the classroom, provides for a very personal and informal advising program in which students can ask questions as they arise.
