Loras College in Dubuque has hired Dr. Ulrike Schultz as director of its new postbaccalaureate premedical program and prehealth professions adviser. Loras launched its one-year, postbaccalaureate premedical program in January. It’s specifically designed for individuals who have completed a bachelor’s degree but don’t have the prerequisite courses to apply to one of the following professional schools: medicine, optometry, dentistry, podiatry, physical therapy, physician assistant or veterinary medicine. Previously, she taught anatomy and labs at Loras on an adjunct basis for nearly six years. Schultz received a Master of Public Health degree from the University of Iowa in 2008, and her medical degree in 1995 from the University of Tübingen, a German public research university.
