Career Advising Student Advisory Board Tip of the Month
This advice is for all MS1 students and includes first generation and BIPOC student lenses.
We hope you had a restful winter break! The career advisors are available to schedule your initial career advising and exploration meeting. Taking time for career exploration early on will be super beneficial. Explore the Career Advising website and bring questions to your career advisor.
Are you starting to think about a certain specialty? Think about what you can do this year to enhance your future residency application. This can depend on your specialty, so review the Specialty Guides, and talk with your career advisor or specialty career advisor (if they are ready to talk with you; see the Specialty Guides) to see if this means research, volunteering or leadership involvement.
