Medical Student Services is the student affairs office for the medical school. We support the academic mission with a focus on student wellness, personal growth and professional development.
We weave a support system through learning communities, individual career advising, academic tutoring, and service learning. An MSS dean or director is always on call. We do this by facilitating the academic and career success of all medical students in a collaborative and inclusive environment. The peer education program serves a dual mission: providing free, supplemental support to medical students who need additional help with coursework; and supporting medical students who wish to extend and reinforce their knowledge and develop instructional skills while helping their peers.
Student leaders in the peer education program are trained by the academic success program and receive ongoing professional development. The academic success office conducts seminars and workshops on highly relevant topics aligned with the medical school year as well as offers learning strategy seminars for the Summer Health Professions Education Program SHPEP.
