The UCCS Pre-Medical Society is open to all students at UCCS who are pursuing a health related degree, and are engaged in studies relating to that. This includes Nursing, Pre-Vet, Pre-Pharmacy, Pre-Med for M.D.or D.O., Pre-Med for P.A., Pre-Dental etc. Our aim is to help those interested in a health career gain exposure to their desired field, and become desirable applicants to any post baccalaureate medical program.
