Welcome
Welcome to the Western Association of Advisors for the Health Professions (WAAHP)—a community shaped by the vast geography, diverse institutions, and shared commitment that define our region. Here, pre-health advisors, faculty, staff, and professional school partners come together with a common purpose: to guide and empower the next generation of healthcare professionals.
Across the West, our advising community is creative, collaborative, and deeply student-centered. WAAHP exists to strengthen that work by connecting colleagues, fostering professional growth, and creating spaces where ideas, challenges, and innovations can be shared openly. Whether you are new to advising or a long-standing member of our profession, you’ll find a supportive network dedicated to elevating both your expertise and your impact.
As a regional affiliate of the National Association of Advisors for the Health Professions (NAAHP), WAAHP provides access to a robust national network of admissions leaders, partner organizations, and fellow advisors. Through conferences, workshops, leadership opportunities, and ongoing professional development, we work to ensure that advisors in the West are equipped with the knowledge, resources, and connections they need to help students thrive.
Our region’s strength comes from the voices and contributions of our members. We invite you to participate, volunteer, lead, and help shape the future of advising in the West. Together, we can continue to build a vibrant, inclusive community that supports advisors and champions the students we serve.
Welcome to WAAHP—a place to learn, connect, collaborate, and grow.
