It is Duke HPA's expectation that all applicants attend the 2024M Application Curriculum workshops outlined on this page to support their application process. If you are unable to attend, it is our expectation that you review all posted materials prior to your RMA appointment which can be found on the Resources section of this page.
- The deadline to declare your Intent to Apply was April 1, 2023. Please contact Ms. Morhac at Brittany.morhac@duke.edu if you wish to consider applying after this deadline.
- Plan to attend the 2024M Application Curriculum Workshops in subsequent pages (expandable sections).
- Begin to work on a draft of your RMA (Review My Application) Form during break. It allows you to list, describe, and reflect on the experiences that have been significant to you, answer short essay questions that help you develop your story, choose who will write Letters of Recommendation for you, and identify schools you may apply to. It will take you time to write and to research schools, so plan to work on this over a period of weeks.
- Please bookmark this page now and refer to it throughout the application process; this should be your first source when you have questions. There is also an Application Resources section that, includes resources from workshops.
- If you are a reapplicant, follow the special instructions on the "Being a Reapplicant" page in the left sidebar.
- If you are an alum who needs their NetID extended, please email prehealth@duke.edu from a non Duke email and ask for your NetID to be extended.
Please attend or view all sessions. These are meant to complement individual advising appointments not replace them, nor will individual appointments be able to provide all of this critical information.
