Career Advising
Medical Student Mentorship Program
The Medical Student Mentor Program was created to provide Phase I students with a faculty mentor who will be available to provide advisement and advocacy for the student. This program is designed to help with student career counseling, student support and to fulfill one of the requirements for reaccreditation by the LCME for our medical school.
When possible, the faculty mentor assigned to a Phase I-1 student is someone with whom the student has met and will be working with during the first semester, such as the preceptor for the Ethics group during Perspectives in Medicine (PIM) or as the preceptor for Foundations of Clinical Practice. The faculty mentor will meet with his / her 5 – 7 medical students as a group at least once a semester and individually once or twice a year and as needed. This mentor / mentee relationship continues until the student is promoted to Phase II at which time the student is paired with a career advisor.
