Counseling and AdvisingThe School of Medicine has a number of personal and academic support systems in place to assist students at all levels of the program. There are two education team coordinators with offices on the Volker campus who help the first- and second-year students in curriculum planning and who are available to counsel them on personal problems. For additional counseling, a clinical coordinator is available to students during these two years.Each group of 11 students has a physician-scholar (or docent) who instructs the students in medical coursework during the first two years and who also serves as a role model and personal counselor. From year 3 through year 6, each student is a member of a 12-student unit assigned to a docent who teaches and counsels throughout these years of the curriculum. Each team of about 50 students, made up of four units, has an education team coordinator to advise about course selection and personal problems in consultation with the docent. In their third and fourth years, students are partnered with older students who serve as senior partners.
