• complete a minor in Science and the Common Good;
• do independent research in science, mathematics, or science/health policy, and report it at a scientific conference;

Tom Holt explains how the health-related experiences and training he received as an Ursinus student prepared him for a career in medicine. From search and rescue ski patrol and emergency medical services on campus to graduate-level biochem research and an internship to Buenas Aires — these experiences made him a clear candidate for med school.
