Career Advising Student Advisory Board Tip of the Month
This advice is for all students and includes first-generation and BIPOC student lenses.
Welcome MS1s! Every month, you’ll get a tip in this newsletter to help your career planning stay on track.
You’ll soon get tons of emails about extracurriculars, which might feel overwhelming during FMR—but try to think big picture about what interests you career-wise. If you can, consider taking on a leadership role in an interest group, a volunteer project, or a committee. Don’t overcommit but choosing one or two things to focus on this year is a fantastic way to kick off med school! Career Advising will follow up in early fall with tips on how to approach your involvement.
Pathway applications will also open this fall and can be very helpful in learning how to better serve minoritized and underserved communities. Learn more about Pathways.
