Career Planning Meetings: Choosing a Discipline
For some medical students, choosing a career path to follow after medical school is
daunting. Second semester juniors are encouraged to self-assess for likes/dislikes,
strengths/weaknesses, and general aptitudes. They are provided with access to the AAMC
Careers in Medicine website which has links to self-assessment tools. As the junior
students are working through the process, clinical departments schedule an informational
meeting between the months of January and February. Students are encouraged to attend
as many meetings as possible. These meetings are designed to help guide the student in
their discipline and advisor choice.
Students select their advisors from the list provided by each department of the faculty who are interested and available to perform this important function.
M3 students will receive a faculty advisor form in January.
The Faculty Advisor Form is due to Karen Braswell, Mastin 202, by April 3, 2023.
