Apply now for student leadership position: Career Advising’s Student Advisory Board

Student Advisory Board (SAB) members provide feedback to enhance the career advising experience for all UWSOM students. Members serve as liaisons to their cohorts on career planning initiatives.

The Board is composed of 20-25 student members, representing MS1s, MS2s, MS3s, and MS4s across each of the six WWAMI sites. The Board strives to amplify BIPOC voices.

For 2024-25, Career Advising is looking for one MS4 from the Foundations sites in Seattle, Spokane and Montana.

Apply NOW for the SAB. Applications close Oct. 6, 2024. The application takes approx. 4 minutes to complete. You will be notified of participation by Oct. 16.

This year the board will provide perspective as Career Advising develops new advising resources. This will be project-based work. Potential projects include:

  • Creating an online “roadmap for choosing a medical specialty,” similar to this version at Stanford
  • Helping to launch a First-Generation speaker series in partnership with other Student Affairs units
  • Refreshing and updating specific aspects of the Career Advising website

UWSoM Dept of Radiation Oncology hosts open house about residencies

You are invited to a virtual and relaxed meet and greet on Monday, Sept. 16, 2024, where you can get to know faculty and residents from the Radiation Oncology Residency Program at UWSoM. It’s completely optional and has no impact on the residency selection process. The program starts at 3 p.m. AK, 4 p.m. PT and 6 p.m. MT.

Program Director Lia Halasz, MD, will kick things off with a brief welcome and overview. After that, the meeting will transition into engaging breakout rooms that cater to your interests. Feel free to hop in and out of different discussions throughout the event – it’s all about what intrigues you.
