If you feel stressed out about the process of
being admitted to health professions programs, you are not alone!
Preprofessionals often worry about being competitive for admission, and often
unfairly compare themselves to the progress they think their peers perusing
similar goals are making.
In this session, co-presented by the Health Professions and Prelaw Center and IU Counseling and Psychological Services, we present concrete stress-reducing self-care techniques:
--constructive ways to respond to the pressures of being a very busy preprofessional student, who must also be academically successful beyond what many of your peers must achieve
--specific ways to manage the sense of competition you might feel in relation to peers applying to the same professional programs as yourself
--specific ways to cope with the stress that often comes with changing (or even thinking about changing) your career path - changes which are sometimes unexpected or unwanted (e.g., when students think they may not be competitive for admission, or find themselves unanchored when they feel they've been on the "wrong" path)
There will be plenty of time to discuss your own questions, concerns, and ideas.
Reducing your level of preprofessional stress can lead to making better personal, academic, and career decisions, and can also help you more fully enjoy your undergraduate experience. Come join us. HPPLC and CAPS invite all students and alumni pursuing admission to any type of competitive admission health program to attend Managing The Stress Of Being A Prehealth Student, now in its fourth year.
It is okay if you need to arrive late or leave early.
