Monday: SOAP Education Session
All students are invited to attend a SOAP Education Session hosted by the Career Advisors, Student Affairs, and the Specialty Career Advisors for Surgery, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Family Medicine. We encourage you to attend if you didn’t receive the number of interviews you had originally aimed for and/or your SCA is recommending out of an abundance of caution. In advance, please review how SOAP works and Career Advising’s SOAP page. Bring your questions! The presentation will be recorded and sent out via email, but the Q&A will not be recorded.
Date and Time: Monday, February 9, 12:30—2:00 pm PT
2026 Physician’s Oath & Hooding Ceremony Ticket Exchange
The 2026 Physician’s Oath & Hooding Ceremony is getting closer, so the MSA wanted to share some quick info about the ticket exchange.
Each graduate will receive 7 guest tickets. If you know you’ll have extra tickets you won’t be using, please fill out this form. Extra POHC Ticket Donation Form.
We’ll be coordinating a graduation ticket exchange so extra tickets can go to classmates who need them.
Just to set expectations: in the past couple of years, ticket donations have been very limited. We typically received 2–4 donated tickets, while 80+ people requested extras. Because of this, we’re planning to first see how many tickets are actually donated this year before running an exchange.
Once the MSA has a better sense of availability, we’ll follow up with details on how the exchange will work.
Thanks so much for being considerate of your classmates, and we’re really looking forward to celebrating together!
