Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently,
participate in a team, be well-organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic
achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.

PRE-PROGRAMS
Pre-programs are post-secondary certificate programs that offer students the opportunity to take courses for career exploration or to qualify for further study. With small class sizes, dedicated teachers and built-in advising and supports, the pre-programs help students strengthen their academic skills and prepare for further coursework.
OUR PROGRAM
 The Pre-Health Science program at George Brown College prepares students academically for future study in many Health Sciences programs through setting a foundation in core mathematics and science courses and providing an overview of the health-care industry. Upon completion of the program, our students have a variety of options, including Practical Nursing, Dental Assisting, Fitness and Lifestyle Management, Orthotics/Prosthetics, Medical Office Administration, Hearing Instrument Specialist and Activation Co-ordinator/Gerontology, among others.
Today’s health-care employers are looking for skilled workers to address a critical labour shortage in the industry. Pre-Health Science provides students with practical training, confidence building and communication skills needed to excel in many health-care programs and future careers in the field. Through classroom and hands-on study, students explore careers in the health sciences/services sector, including those in health-care institutions or with health-care providers. Students also gain a basic understanding of social sciences and human relations – essential skills for the field of health sciences.
Career development, academic advising and student success services will support career exploration and other academic needs of all Pre-Health Science students.
PART-TIME STUDY OPTIONS
Some Health Sciences and English courses are offered part-time through Continuing Education at George Brown College. However, Pre-Health Science is not a part-time program. Please visit coned.georgebrown.ca for more information on part-time studies.
YOUR CAREER
In addition to preparing students for gaining entry to Health Science programs at post-secondary institutions, the Pre-Health Science program provides a direct path to the following programs at George Brown College: Practical Nursing, Dental Assisting, Activation Co-ordinator/Gerontology, Fitness and Lifestyle Management and Office Administration – Medical.
Each of these programs reserves a number of seats per intake for Pre-Health Science graduates who meet certain conditions (such as a minimum program GPA or minimum grades in specific courses) upon graduation from Pre-Health Science.
Students who intend to apply to any other post-secondary program at George Brown College or at another institution should check the admission requirements for the program. Graduates of Pre-Health Science may also apply for elective credit and exemptions for courses in those programs.

2. How you will overcome this the 2nd time around?
3. What is your plan after our program?
4. The courses you would like to finish or retake.
