Career Advising Office Hours update
Career Advising Office Hours next week, Sept. 11 to 14, are dedicated to MS4’s residency application questions. If you have a time-sensitive question during this week: Please email medadv@uw.edu instead of coming to Office Hours. A career advisor will get back to you as soon as they can. Thank you for supporting our MS4s!
Meanwhile, until Oct. 3, the career advisors are very busy in 1-1 meetings with MS4s and prepping for fall advising. Career advisors are not able to meet with other students during this time. If you have an urgent question or issue, please email medadv@uw.edu and a career advisor will try to get back to you within five days. You are welcome to bring quick questions to Office Hours, but if your question can wait until after Oct. 3, that would help free up time for MS4s and the career advisors. The team thanks you for your patience and understanding.
“Tip of the Month” from the Career Advising Student Advisory Board
You’re about a year out from your Residency Application submission!
Still deciding on a specialty? That’s OK! Most students are in the same boat as you, and you have time to decide. Take the AAMC Careers in Medicine Self-Assessments and schedule an October or November meeting with your career advisor. Be sure to select the appointment type MS3 4th Year Planning (25 min) here: https://uwsom-careeradv.12twenty.com/SignUp/Student.
Decided on a specialty? Think about what you can be doing this year to enhance your application. This can depend on your specialty, so talk with your career advisor to see if this means research, volunteering or leadership.
