The Career and Professional Advising Team 

Career and Professional Advisors meet with their assigned medical students one-on-one throughout each academic year. Students are encouraged to communicate with their Career and Professional Advisor regarding any issues or uncertainties any time throughout their four years via scheduled or ad hoc meetings, emails, or other forms of communication. In addition, the advising team coordinates various events and workshops throughout each year in medical school to enhance students’ knowledge of the various processes they will encounter, including but not limited to, scheduling, specialty selection, and residency interviews. 

In addition to career choice, the advising team helps students understand the need for strong skills in the competencies listed below. Student competency assessments are reviewed regularly so that a developmental intervention can be instituted if concerns arise.
