Career Advising Student Advisory Board Tip of the Month
This advice is for all students and includes first-generation and BIPOC student lenses.
Congratulations on finishing your first block! You may have been thinking about getting involved in shadowing, research, and interest groups. Take your time choosing so you don’t overcommit. Prioritize preparing for the Infections & Immunity (I&I) block. Just as before, it will be a lot of content very quickly. The micro section of Sketchy is going to be a very valuable resource. Try to map out which videos you will need to watch daily or weekly.
Some students start exploring non-clinical electives and pathway programs. These educational opportunities can be a great way to gain a well-rounded medical education.
