Proactive Advising

Proactive Advising strengthens student support services by providing early and intentional advising to all WWAMI students. As part of Student Affairs, we monitor your progression throughout medical school and work with other UWSOM units to ensure you are well supported in your medical school journey. Through early outreach, we connect you with the appropriate resources to successfully progress through the medical curriculum.

The Holistic Advising Approach:

Using a relationship-centered model, Proactive Advising liaises with other units to provide individualized support available to all WWAMI students on topics related to their progression through medical school. This includes schedule planning, concurrent degrees, leaves of absence, clinical expansions, academic performance, Step exams and independent study.

Proactive Advising can connect you with various units in UWSOM to support your journey through medical school.
