I'm still deciding if medicine is right for me, where should I start?
Attend CU MedVets office hours to discuss with a fellow student veteran if medicine is a good choice for you and to learn more about how your veteran status affects admissions
Consider taking a pre-med course such as Chemistry I or a research focused class to see if you enjoy the subject matter and rigor
Volunteer in a clinical setting such as in a Veteran's Affairs hospital to see if you could envision yourself in a healthcare career.
I'm committed to pre-med, what should I do now?
Reach out to your academic advisor and ask them to connect you with one of the pre-medical committee advisors. That advisor will help you lay out a timeline and give you advice about pre-requisite courses you need to take
