The Health Professions Advisory Committee (HPAC) at Grinnell College coordinates
activities involving the preparation for careers in the health professions, and its
members serve as advisors for students who are planning a career in one of the
health care fields. The committee also gathers information for the evaluation of
students, and is responsible for the preparation of committee letters of
recommendation. Contact any member of the Health Professions Advisory Committee (see member list at bottom of this page) or the
Career Development Office with
questions you have about preparing for a career in one of the health professions.
