Advising and Career Counseling

Students will receive academic advising and career counseling from three sources over the course of their medical education: a faculty advisor, a specialty advisor, and the Office of Student Affairs.  The faculty advisor is primarily responsible for academic advising, and the specialty advisor is primarily responsible for career counseling and academic advising relevant to the clerkship years. The Office of Student Affairs, under the direction of the Associate Dean for Students, has overall responsibility for the advising and counseling system.

In addition, the Office of Student Affairs utilizes the AAMC’s Careers in Medicine program to assist students with specialty selection and career planning. For a detailed description of the Advising and Career Counseling Program, please see the M.D. Program Student Handbook .
