Clinical Mentor Program - Class of 2011

Mentor assignments will be sent out the first two weeks of May.

Each third year medical student is matched with a clinical mentor in a student-selected specialty The Clinical Mentor Program gives students one-on-one advisement and guidance as they make specialty selection decisions, prepare to apply to residents and transition to residency training.

 

 

   

The Career Development Program is committed to helping students select specialties that will meet both professional and personal goals. Although specialty selection is a personal

decision-making process, the program provides students with:

  • A process that will help students with specialty selection
  • An opportunity for students to discuss specialty decision-making with colleagues
  • Resources to help students make an informed decision

The program, which combines group exercises with individual projects, consists of four components:

  • self-assessment
  • career exploration
  • decision making
  • implementation
