  • Career Advising Tip of the Month 

Career Advising Student Advisory Board Tip of the Month    

This advice is for all MS2 students and includes first generation and BIPOC student lenses.  

We hope you are enjoying the transition from Foundations to Patient Care Phase! You can always ask your “big doc” for tips on rotations, as we have done them all already. Make sure you read your clerkship’s web page and review the Clinical Encounters requirements and information. Try to keep a journal or little notes about each rotation and memorable patient care experiences. This is super helpful to look back on during application season!  

If you’re getting ready to plan your elective/off-block during the Patient Care Phase, be sure to check out the Elective Selection webpage from Career Advising — it’s full of helpful resources! You can also come to Career Advising’s Office Hours via Zoom, Mondays through Wednesdays, starting at 11 AM AK,  12 PM/Noon  PT, 1PM MT: Zoom Link
