The Goal and Purpose of Academic Advising

The goal of the Office of Academic Advising and Support at the UTRGV School of Medicine is to ensure that each student is on an optimized path to their MD degree by taking full advantage of the resources and services available to them. Each student receives advising from an assigned advisor in the advising area.

Role of the Academic Advisor

An academic advisor is someone who provides professional academic advisement for current and prospective students and specialized academic advisement for at-risk students within the School of Medicine. Academic advising and follow-ups with students must be ongoing to ensure that students are making progress toward degree completion. The academic advisor does not have any role in the student's grading and promotion. Academic advisors are NOT mentors.
