Centralized Application Services

Many health professions programs use centralized application services (think “common app” for professional school) to streamline their applications and admissions processes. This page includes links to the centralized application service for different health professions, links to applicant guides/help centers that provide step-by-step information on how to navigate the application, and links to fee assistance resources that can help eligible applicants offset application costs. Be sure to double-check application timelines and requirements for programs you are applying to in order to make sure you are not missing any important steps.
