The Post-baccalaureate Pre-health Society (PPS) at the University of Pennsylvania exists for five primary reasons:

1) To provide a community for the pre-health post-baccalaureate students in CGS and to foster social cohesion and continuity within the student body.

2) To create an academic support network with resources such as peer tutoring, study groups, and class reviews, in order to facilitate student development and efficiency.

3) To be a liaison between the program’s students and the CGS office, especially the Assistant Dean of Premedical Programs.

4) To become a gateway between our program and the greater Penn community and represent the pre-health post-baccalaureate students within the University of Pennsylvania.

5) To promote a broader knowledge of the health professions by providing guest speakers, organizing tours to health schools, and developing events that interest pre-health students.
