Careers in Health
Preparing students for health-related professional schools has always been central to the mission of Fulbright College . With the combined support of many great Fulbright College resources, especially the Fulbright College Advising Center, Liebolt Premedical Program, Pre-Dental Program, and Pre-Law Society, our undergraduates have been exceedingly successful in gaining admission to some of the most competitive programs in the nation. Click on your specific field for more information.
Dentistry
Mentorship:
In addition to your Fulbright College Academic Advisor, professional mentorship is offered to pre-dentistry students by:
The Fulbright Pre-Dentistry Program
Kathleen Paul, Ph.D. - Director
Assistant Professor, Department of Anthropology
UARK Pre-Dental Website (Pre-Dental specific advising information also found here):
https://fulbright.uark.edu/departments/anthropology/predental/index.php
Fast Facts
Dentistry is defined as the evaluation, diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment (nonsurgical, surgical or related procedures) of diseases, disorders and/or conditions of the oral cavity, maxillofacial area and/or the adjacent and associated structures and their impact on the human body; provided by a dentist, within the scope of his/her education, training and experience, in accordance with the ethics of the profession and applicable law. (As adopted by the 1997 ADA House of Delegates)
- Undergraduate Degree: While a student is expected to excel in the natural and social sciences, most programs do not require a specific major. Students are free to choose the major they prefer, even one outside of the sciences, however the number of math and sciences courses required do lead most pre-dentistry students to choose a major in the natural sciences.
- Prerequisite Coursework: Every program will differ in the prerequisite coursework required. Common prerequisites include English Composition, General Biology, Microbiology, Cell Biology, General Chemistry I & II, Organic Chemistry I & II, and Physics I & II
- Entrance Exams: Dental Admission Test (DAT)
- Application System: American Association of Dental Schools Application Service (AADSAS)
- List of Programs: ada.org>Find a Program
- Professional Organizations: American Dental Association (ADA), American Dental Education Association (ADEA)
Is Dentistry your Fulbright Future?
If you are serious about your future, and you are ready to get started, then beginning to create your professional portfolio is the next step:
- Research and understand this field
- Use your own system of organization to understand your requirements
- Create a step-by-step plan that fits your career goals, major(s), and minor(s)
- Prepare before meeting with your advisor and/or professional mentor
- Your portfolio will continue to build until eventually you use it to apply to professional schools.
DIRECTIONS: Use whichever means you are comfortable with to answer the following questions. Create your own document with each question clearly labeled along with your answers. Feel free to add your own notes or extra information - this is the beginning of your own personal professional portfolio that will, in just a few years, become your application to dentistry school. Make it your own!
The Basics
Dentists perform a unique and vital role within our healthcare system. There are several resources online that provide an overview of the profession, including the American Dental Association (ADA), American Dental Education Association (ADEA), American Association of Dental Schools Application Service (AADSAS), ExploringHealthCareers.org, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Use these resources, along with any others you may find, to answer the following questions:
- In your own words, describe what you will do on a daily basis as an dentist. Provide at least a paragraph.
- Describe the settings in which optometrists typically work (clinics, hospitals, etc.). Which is your preferred setting?
- List the other factors that are important to you about the field. What is a typical work schedule? What is the average salary? What does the job market look like?
Education
To become an dentist, you must first complete an undergraduate degree (or at a minimum, complete the required prerequisite coursework for specific program) and then complete a graduate-level dentist program. These programs are typically four years and result in a doctor of dentistry. You will most likely apply to these programs during your senior year. Admission to dentistry programs is very competitive and is based on a variety of factors, including:
- Overall Grade Point Average
- Science Grade Point Average
- Prerequisite Coursework
- Dental Admission Test (DAT) Scores
- Observation Hours
- Other Health Care and Volunteer Experience
- Letters of Recommendation
- Personal Essay
- In-Person Interviews
Use the same resources from above, along with the websites of specific dentistry programs in which you are interested, to answer the following questions:
- Name at least three specific dentistry programs in which you are interested. Use the dentistry program directory found at ada.org if you need help finding programs. NOTE: For public institutions, the schools at which you might pay “in-state” tuition will be within your permanent state of residence (only Arkansas if you are from Arkansas). Private institutions do not offer “in-state” or “out-of-state” tuition.
- An undergraduate degree is typically required, however your undergraduate major is up to you. The major you choose is not an admissions factor. Rather, it should be a major or major(s) that fit you, your interests, and your goals. With that in mind, please name at least three majors you might consider, even if you have already chosen one.
- Dentistry programs do require very specific coursework in areas such as biology, chemistry, physics, english, etc. While there are definitely similarities, each program requires its own unique set of prerequisites. For each of the programs you’ve listed for question #4, list the prerequisites along with the appropriate UA course numbers.

Fast Facts
Physicians diagnose and care for people of all ages who are ill or have been injured. They take medical histories, perform physical examinations, conduct diagnostic tests, recommend and provide treatment, and advise patients on their overall health and well-being. While there are several different types of physicians, they can usually be divided into three broad categories:
- Primary care physicians are the doctors patients usually visit most frequently. They treat a wide range of illnesses and regularly provide preventive care, and they also enjoy long-term relationships with their patients. Pediatricians, family practitioners, and general internists are primary care physicians.
- Surgeons perform operations to treat diseases and repair injuries.
- Specialists have expertise related to specific diseases, age groups, and bodily organs. Cardiologists, psychiatrists, geriatricians, and ophthalmologists are examples of specialists (AAMC).
- Undergraduate Degree: While a student is expected to excel in the natural and social sciences, most programs do not require a specific major. Students are free to choose the major they prefer, even one outside of the sciences.
- Prerequisite Coursework: Every program may differ in the prerequisite coursework required. Common prerequisites include English Composition, Psychology, Sociology, Biology, Cell Biology, Genetics, General Chemistry I & II, Organic Chemistry I & II, Biochemistry, and Physics I & II

Fast Facts
In its simplest terms, occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants help people across the lifespan participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations). Common occupational therapy interventions include helping children with disabilities to participate fully in school and social situations, helping people recovering from injury to regain skills, and providing supports for older adults experiencing physical and cognitive changes. Occupational therapy services typically include an individualized evaluation, during which the client/family and occupational therapist determine the person’s goals, customized intervention to improve the person’s ability to perform daily activities and reach the goals, andan outcomes evaluation to ensure that the goals are being met and/or make changes to the intervention plan. Occupational therapy services may include comprehensive evaluations of the client’s home and other environments (e.g., workplace, school), recommendations for adaptive equipment and training in its use, and guidance and education for family members and caregivers. Occupational therapy practitioners have a holistic perspective, in which the focus is on adapting the environment to fit the person, and the person is an integral part of the therapy team (AOTA.org).

As primary eye care providers, doctors of optometry examine, diagnose, treat and manage
diseases and disorders of the visual system, the eyes and associated structures as
well as diagnose related systemic conditions. Optometrists examine the internal and
external structure of the eyes to diagnose eye diseases like glaucoma, cataracts and
retinal disorders; systemic diseases like hypertension and diabetes; and vision conditions
like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia. They also determine
the patient's ability to focus and coordinate the eyes, to judge depth and to see
color accurately.
They prescribe eyeglasses and contact lenses, low vision aids, vision therapy and
medications to treat eye diseases as well as perform certain surgical procedures.
Optometrists work in private practices, multidisciplinary medical practices, hospitals,
teaching institutions, research positions, community health centers and the ophthalmic
industry. Optometrists can also build successful careers in the military, public health
or government service. There is a need for optometrists in all types of practice,
particularly in the areas of pediatric and gerontological optometry. Practice opportunities
exist throughout the U.S. with a particular need in rural areas (AOA).

Fast Facts
Pharmacy is a licensed health profession in which pharmacists provide information regarding medication to consumers and health care professionals. Pharmacists are "medication experts," concerned with disease state management and safe guarding the public's health in matters relating to medication distribution and use.
While responsibilities vary among the different areas of pharmacy practice, the bottom line is that pharmacists help patients get well. Pharmacist responsibilities include a range of care for patients, from dispensing medications to monitoring patient health and progress to maximize their response to the medication. Pharmacists also educate consumers and patients on the use of prescriptions and over-the-counter medications, and advise physicians, nurses and other health professionals on drug decisions. Pharmacists also provide expertise about the composition of drugs, including their chemical, biological, and physical properties and their manufacture and use. They ensure drug purity and strength and make sure that drugs do not interact in a harmful way (AACP).
- Undergraduate Degree: While a student is expected to excel in the natural and social sciences, most programs do not require a specific major. In fact, a bachelor’s degree is not always required. Students are free to choose the major they prefer, even one outside of the sciences, however the number of math and sciences courses required do lead most pre-pharmacy students to choose a major in the natural sciences.
- Prerequisite Coursework: Every program will differ in the prerequisite coursework required. Common prerequisites include English Composition, Public Speaking, Accounting or Economics, General Biology, Microbiology, Cell Biology, Genetics, General Chemistry I & II, Organic Chemistry I & II, Biochemistry, Calculus, and Physics

Make it your own!
The Basics
Physical Therapists perform a unique and vital role within our healthcare system. There are several resources online that provide an overview of the profession, including the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), the Physical Therapy Centralized Application Service (PTCAS), ExploringHealthCareers.org, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Use these resources, along with any others you may find, to answer the following questions:
- In your own words, describe what you will do on a daily basis as a physical therapist. Provide at least a paragraph.
- Describe the settings in which physical therapists typically work (clinics, hospitals, etc.). Which is your preferred setting?
- List the other factors that are important to you about the field. What is a typical work schedule? What is the average salary? What does the job market look like?
Education
To become a physical therapist, you must first complete an undergraduate degree and then complete graduate-level physical therapist program. Most of these programs last between three years and result in a Doctor of Physical Therapy. You will most likely apply to these programs during your senior year. Admission to physical therapist programs is very competitive and is based on a variety of factors, including:
- Overall Grade Point Average
- Science Grade Point Average
- Prerequisite Coursework
- Graduate Record Examination (GRE) Scores
- Observation Hours
- Other Health Care and Volunteer Experience
- Letters of Recommendation
- Personal Essay
- In-Person Interviews
Use the same resources from above, along with the websites of specific physical therapist programs in which you are interested, to answer the following questions:
- Name at least three specific physical therapy programs in which you are interested. Use the PT Programs Directory found at PTCAS.org if you need help finding programs. NOTE: For public institutions, the schools at which you might pay “in-state” tuition will be within your permanent state of residence (only Arkansas if you are from Arkansas). Private institutions do not offer “in-state” or “out-of-state” tuition.
- While an undergraduate degree is required, the major is up to you. The major you choose is not an admissions factor. Rather, it should be a major or major(s) that fit you, your interests, and your goals. With that in mind, please name at least three majors you might consider, even if you have already chosen one.
- PT programs do require very specific coursework in areas such as biology, chemistry, physics, statistics, psychology, etc. While there are definitely similarities, each program requires its own unique set of prerequisites. For the each of the programs you’ve listed for question #4, list the prerequisites along with the appropriate UA course numbers.
- A minimum number of observation hours from multiple settings are typically required. These vary greatly by program. It is very important that you understand what is required by the programs you are interested in. For each of the programs list for question #4, describe the observation hour requirement. And remember, always do more than the minimum!
- As a pre-PT student, you will take the GRE. Name the general content of the GRE, including the specific sections of the exam. Which UA courses might help you prepare for the GRE? When do you plan on taking the exam?
- Letters of recommendation are another critical part of your application. In order to have great letters of recommendation, you need to connect with with faculty members and practitioners long enough to create meaningful relationships. Describe three individuals that might write letters of recommendation for you, or, if you are unsure at this point, describe the type of individuals you hope will write your letters as well as how you might go about connecting with such individuals in the coming years. You will want to give recommenders plenty of time to thoughtfully write a great letter. With that in mind, when do you plan on asking them to write a letter for you (month/year)?
- Several parts of the admission process, including the personal essay, letters of recommendation, and other experiences are designed to measure your maturity and familiarity with the field. Describe the ways in which you will become more familiar with the PT field and health care in general. In addition, describe the ways in which you will increase your general leadership and maturity.
Application
- Most PT programs use the PTCAS website. Create a login and password for PTCAS and become familiar with the website. Do all of the programs you listed for question #4 use PTCAS? When do you think you will submit your application (month/year) based on what you’ve read on PTCAS?
License
- Name the actual license you need to become a physical therapist.
- What examination must you take to get that license?
- What is the appropriate abbreviation for a licensed physical therapist (the letters after your name)?
Your Action Plan
With all that you now know what goes into a career as a physical therapist, how will you prepare. As best you can, describe everything you will do (or have done) during each of the following years to prepare to apply to physical therapist programs. Be as detailed as possible, and include things such as coursework, student organizations, GRE prep, direct patient care hours, mentorship, etc:
Freshman Year?
Sophomore Year?
Junior Year?
Senior Year?
Gap Year (if applicable)?
Physician Assistant
Student Organization and Listserv:
Any student that is interested in a career as a physician assistant should join the Pre-Physician Assistant Society by signing up at Hog Sync. This will sign you up for the student organization and the Pre-PA email listserv. Both provide vital information and networking opportunities for students.
Fast Facts
A physician assistant (PA) is a medical professional who works as part of a team with a doctor.

Careers in Law
Fulbright graduates consistently gain admission to the most elite law schools throughout our region and across the nation. From the American Bar Association: "There is no single path that will prepare you for a legal education. Students who are successful in law school, and who become accomplished professionals, come from many walks of life and educational backgrounds. Some law students enter law school directly from their undergraduate studies without having had any post-baccalaureate work experience. Others begin their legal education significantly later in life, and they bring to their law school education the insights and perspectives gained from those life experiences. Legal education welcomes and values diversity and you will benefit from the exchange of ideas and different points of view that your colleagues will bring to the classroom." Given the outstanding variety of disciplines in Fulbright, combined with our rigorous undergraduate education, it should be no surprise that our students find themselves so well-prepared for law-related careers.

Fast Facts
Overview: There is no single path that will prepare you for a legal education. Students who
are successful in law school, and who become accomplished professionals, come from
many walks of life and educational backgrounds. Some law students enter law school
directly from their undergraduate studies without having had any post-baccalaureate
work experience. Others begin their legal education significantly later in life, and
they bring to their law school education the insights and perspectives gained from
those life experiences. Legal education welcomes and values diversity and you will
benefit from the exchange of ideas and different points of view that your colleagues
will bring to the classroom.
Typical Admission Requirements: Please check with individual schools for specific admission requirements, but criteria
that may be considered are:
- Undergraduate GPA
- LSAT score
- Letters of recommendation/evaluations
- Personal statement or essay
Prerequisite Coursework: Prelaw advisor can be helpful in selecting courses that can help you achieve your
goal.
Core Skills and Values:
- Analytic / Problem Solving Skills
- Critical Reading
- Writing Skills
- Oral Communication / Listening Abilities
- General Research Skills
- Task Organization / Management Skills
- Public Service and Promotion of Justice
Undergraduate Degree: The ABA does not recommend any undergraduate majors or group of courses to prepare
for a legal education. Students are admitted to law school from almost every academic
discipline. You may choose to major in subjects that are considered to be traditional
preparation for law school, such as history, English, philosophy, political science,
economics or business, or you may focus your undergraduate studies in areas as diverse
as art, music, science and mathematics, computer science, engineering, nursing or
education. Whatever major you select, you are encouraged to pursue an area of study
that interests and challenges you, while taking advantage of opportunities to develop
your research and writing skills. Taking a broad range of difficult courses from demanding
instructors is excellent preparation for legal education.
A sound legal education will build upon and further refine the skills, values and
knowledge that you already possess. The student who comes to law school lacking a
broad range of basic skills and knowledge will face a difficult challenge.
