The Office of Student Affairs at the Medical School provides a variety of support services to meet the needs of currently enrolled students and graduates of the School of Medicine. The director works in close conjunction with the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office in assisting students in finding additional sources of support through extramural scholarship and loan programs. The Office of Student Affairs staff works closely with student organizations and interest groups in support of ongoing activities, special events and projects.
The director provides career information to students and counsels and assists
students in applying for postgraduate residency training programs.
Other student services include: serving as liaison for student reports with the
Association of American Medical Colleges, National Resident Matching Program
and National Board of Medical Examiners; providing letters of recommendation
for extramural electives, residencies, fellowship programs and scholarships;
student honors and awards; and alumni support services.
