HPAC Quote:
And the final product of our training must be neither a psychologist nor a brickmason, but a man. And to make men, we must have ideals, broad, pure, and inspiring ends of living—not sordid money-getting…The worker must work for the glory of his handiwork…the thinker must think for truth…
-W.E.B. Du Bois, The Souls of Black Folk

Pre-Health Program

Student Organizations

PHAT

The Pre-Health Advising Team (PHAT), comprised of leaders from each pre-health student organization. 2007

Student organizations provide a venue for pre-health students to help each other study, choose classes wisely, find volunteer and work opportunities, and hang out.

HPAC recommends that every pre-health student remain active in one or more of these organizations while at UT Dallas.
