Summary of the whole toolkit
Seven pieces.
One plan.
This toolkit helps students prepare for and apply to medical (MD/DO), dental, PA, pharmacy (PharmD), and physical therapy (DPT) programs. It has seven pieces that work together.
Free study resources, with links, for every path.
One master guide covering shared tools such as Khan Academy and Anki, the MCAT (including free AAMC resources), the DAT, the PA-CAT and PANCE, pre-pharmacy, and pre-PT. For pharmacy, it explains that the PCAT was retired in January 2024, so there is no admission exam. For PT, it covers the free official GRE practice tests.

A note from the Creator
If reviewing this checklist just caused a mild panic attack, take a deep breath. Applying to health profession school is already stressful enough, especially when you are trying to balance a social life during application season. So I did the hunting for you. Please remember that this is just a guide to help you during your application process, not a magical artifact that will write your personal statement or pay your secondary fees for you.
