Dr. Ezekiel R. Dumke Family Pre-Medical Professional Programs

Are you considering a career in the medical professional field?

At Weber State, we understand the significance of this decision. Our students embark on their journey with confidence, thanks to the Dr. Ezekiel R. Dumke Family Pre-Medical Program and robust student resources. Join us and pave your way to a successful medical career with Weber State.

Where do I start?

Most students want to declare their "pre-medical major" as soon as possible. Contrary to popular belief, there isn't a specific "pre-medical major." Instead, you choose your desired pre-medical professional program and with the support of your academic advisors select a major in any discipline. Together, your advisors help you integrate the necessary courses for professional training with the requirements for your major.

To begin we invite you to attend a virtual information session. Review the calendar to find the next available session and add it to your calendar. We also encourage regular communication with our pre-medical advisors to ensure you're on the right track throughout your preparation.
