What will I learn?

Though Pre-Medicine is not an official degree program, Mizzou has resources dedicated to helping interested students pursue admission into medical school. These include:

MedOpp Advising. The MedOpp Advising Office provides pre-professional advising for ALL pre-med, pre-dental, pre-optometry, pre-physician assistant, and pre-podiatry students at MU.
