Student Advisory Board (SAB)

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

2024-25 SAB Position Description

Role: Provide perspective to Career Advising related to enhancing the career advising experience for UWSOM students. Serve as a liaison to your cohort regarding career planning related items.

2024-25 Focus: 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

Time Commitment: This is an annual commitment, with the option of continued Board membership. Many members decide to remain on the board all 4 years. The role is flexible, especially around the prioritization of academic pursuits.

• Attend two to three 90-minute meetings per year: 1 meeting each in Autumn and Spring, with a possible 3rd meeting in Winter; other working group meetings will be arranged as needed
  • The Autumn Meeting will occur in later October, and run 6-7:30pm PT via Zoom
• Respond to emails seeking input on career planning topics

Structure: The Board is composed of 20-25 student members, representing MS1s, MS2s, MS3s, and MS4s across each of the six WWAMI sites.
