Welcome to the Reed-Yorke Health Professions Advising Office’s first blog post! My name is Gus, and I am the HPAO mascot and primary writer for the blog posts that will be published every Tuesday here on the HPAO website. These posts are targeted to our pre-health students and alumni in order to share valuable resources and information about various topics pertaining to the pre-health journey. They include, but are not limited to, the application process, residency or professional pathways, and creative works by alumni who have embarked on their careers in healthcare.
