Welcome Future Tar Heels to the UNC Office of Health Professions Advising. Photos featuring programs and students involved in HPA programming

At the Office of Health Professions Advising at UNC, we are thrilled about the prospect of guiding you on your journey towards a rewarding career in health professions. While we look forward to meeting you, please note that our current capacity limits us to only meeting with current students, so come see us in your first semester!

However, we know making decisions about college and career paths can be challenging, and having access to the right resources is crucial. Let us guide you through what HPA offers, including support for when you are a Tar Heel and valuable resources to get you started.
