Mission
It is our mission to ensure the success of all medical students as they progress through their training. We are committed to working with our student body to enhance the learning experience and enable each student to achieve their maximum potential.
Welcome from Associate Dean Student Affairs
It has been my distinct privilege to have participated in the professional journey of many medical students and residents. My joy is found in assisting students in achieving their career aspirations. There is also joy in learning and you are about to partake in an incredible journey that is full of dreams but also of challenges.
Remember, you are not alone in this endeavor. From your peers, to staff and faculty, we are all here to support you and cheer you on as you work to attain your goals. The friendships forged in medical school will last a lifetime; and, time spent in medical school will become among the most cherished moments of your life.
We in the Office of Student Affairs (OSA) encourage you to get to know us and our services. We welcome your visits and our doors are always open. I have been honored to have so many incredible mentors who have encouraged and guided me to live my own dreams. I hope you will reach out to us so we can collaborate together to achieve yours! This is a transformative process. Let's begin!
