Premedicine
Students' shared sense of purpose and support for one another is most obvious in the activities of the Northwestern University Pre-Health Professionals student group. The NUPP group is first and foremost a community dedicated to the successful admission of its members into programs that lead to careers in medicine, health, and veterinary practice. In addition, NUPP serves as a forum for the discussion and presentation of professional and academic experiences, as a collective resource of relevant information, as a social network and as a representative for the body of non-traditional pre-health students and their unique needs. Any questions or interest in getting involved can be directed to nupp@u.northwestern.edu.
NUPP is a great resource for students looking for informal guidance and resources on how to navigate a rigorous course load on top of working, volunteering, and doing research in the time leading up to applying to a professional health program.”

Ellie Tjelmeland is honored to serve as one of the co-presidents for NUPP alongside Jack and Nick. She is committed to fostering a greater sense of camaraderie and community within the student body. As a non-traditional student herself, she recognizes the importance of creating a supportive peer network, especially given the diverse backgrounds of those in the program. She looks forward to identifying resources and opportunities that will help students solidify their interests and prepare for careers in healthcare. "I look forward to connecting with you all!"
