North Carolina State University, Committees, Preprofessional Health Sciences Review Committee Records 1978-1992

http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/findingaids/ua022_057

This collection includes memos, correspondence, flyers, and other records produced by the North Carolina State University Preprofessional Health Sciences Review Committee from 1979 to 1992, with a gap from 1981 to 1989. While the purpose of the committee was to review and recommend students from NCSU to preprofessional health sciences programs, the information contained within the collection primarily concerns committee duties such as establishing contacts the admissions departments of these programs, maintaining members of the committee, and electing chairs of the committee. Later records contain averaged data about students who were accepted to preprofessional health sciences programs and information about program requirements that the committee would need in order to better assist future applicants. The North Carolina State University Preprofessional Health Sciences Review Committee is a group that reviews students' professional school application packages. The committee has been renamed the North Carolina State University Health Professions Review Committee. This committee is comprised of faculty from different areas that review all medical, dental, optometry, physician assistant and pharmacy applicants who choose to have their files reviewed by the committee and a composite submitted on their behalf. The committee makes a "university committee recommendation" for each applicant reviewed and submits this along with the student's "composite" review committee recommendation to each school to which they ask to have their file sent. The committee began in 1975 according to a piece of correspondence in the collection and exists in the present as of 2012, but there is no clear mention of specific people associated with beginning this committee. During the time of the collection that dates from 1979 to 1992, Dr. John Roberts and former Chancellor Dr. James L. Oblinger. At that time, Oblinger was Associate Dean of Academic Programs in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
