Our office coordinates many events that will be memorable milestones in your career development, including Orientation, the White Coat Ceremony, AOA selection and Induction Ceremony, and of course, Match Day and Graduation! Along the way to each of these events, we are here to assist you with planning your preclinical electives, Core Clinical Experiences, Advanced Studies electives both at home and away, transitional experiences throughout your training, and individualized career pathways, including 5^th Year Options, and if needed, leaves of absence.  Your well-being and career balance are of paramount importance to our team; as such, we are committed to working with you to support you throughout your training.
