“As the Post-Bacc Pre-Med Advisor, I work closely with students from admission to program completion. I meet with students to help create and implement an academic plan for the duration of the program.  This includes course selection, registration, and enrollment each semester. I am the connector to Northeastern’ s resources.  Students receive support from me as their Academic Advisor, and support from Northeastern’ s Pre-Health Office.  We work closely together to help students review various career options and help them prepare and apply to Pre-Health programs of their choice.” - Annalee Collins, MEd., RHIA
