Our office includes professional and academic advising, financial aid & scholarships, registrar, academic success, global health, events, and wellness with the same mission statement: to facilitate the personal and professional development of medical students through accessibility, professionalism, collaboration, and inclusivity.

We encourage you to take a moment to explore our website to see the different opportunities Student Affairs can support you as a medical student.
