The goal of the Office of Medical Student Affairs is to help our medical students thrive during medical school, both personally and professionally. This is accomplished through providing support in: 

• Career advising  
• Navigating the institution
• Handling personal and professional challenges
• Understanding school policies
• Connecting students with resources
• Facilitating extracurricular pursuits, student groups and activities
• Applying for professional programs and scholarships 

Our office is responsible for assisting students through the residency application process, overseeing the Medical Student Senate and student groups, organizing large school events including Transition to Medical School (Orientation), Match Day, and the Graduation Gala, coordinating student employment, facilitating leaves of absences from the curriculum, and promoting student health and well-being. We partner with the other school offices to improve services offered to students and develop and manage school policies related to student life.
