ACADEMIC RESOURCES

Advising and Career Guidance
During your first two years of medical school, you will assess your interests and your skill development. You will get more
immersed in the various specialties in your third year. Some recommendations for Premedical and Preclinical Sciences
students:

1. Attend the Career Seminar: These are 1-hour seminars organized throughout the academic term that introduce
students to the medical disciplines. You will hear talks and participate in Q&A with faculty, community physicians,
and visiting physicians.
2. Arrange a mentoring or shadowing experience with clinical faculty. Get a list of contacts for shadowing or
mentoring opportunities
3. Volunteer at Clinics and Hospitals.
4. Look for a medical student interest group in your areas of interest.

In your third year, you will get in-depth exposure to many of the medical disciplines during your clinical clerkship.

You will also receive mentoring from clinical faculty serving as Faculty Career Advisors. These are faculty chosen by their
departments who receive special training in this role.

copy of each of the text at the beginning of the course.
