同侪教导
The peer tutoring program is designed to assist currently enrolled medical students who are experiencing academic difficulties in their courses in medical school. 学生 may refer themselves or be referred by others (e.g.(课程主任、指导教师). Peer tutors are vetted by course directors and trained by 医学生事务. 学生可以通过校园连接获得辅导服务.
早期预警
早期预警 is a referral system that enables SHSU faculty or staff to refer students whose academic performance or other indicators demonstrate their need for additional support. 一旦通过校园连接通知, the appropriate SHSU-COM personnel actively reach out to students to offer appropriate services and referrals in order to assist them. 学生 are encouraged to be proactive in discussing their needs.
职业咨询和建议
教育事务 offers medical students a multi-layered system of support to provide academic, 职业生涯, 以及个人指导, including the professional development of each individual.
职业咨询
职业生涯 counseling is an important part of the medical education process. 职业生涯 counseling focuses on giving students the opportunity to explore areas of interest, 确定他们的选择, 确定潜在的住院医师项目, and prepare themselves to apply for residency and enter the NRMP. The goal of SHSU-COM is to provide students with experiences and knowledge of medical practices such that they can choose the specialty and practice that best suits their interests, 人才, 和能力. This is accomplished by recruiting students from communities in need of physicians, maintaining mentorship with faculty and physicians from the community , and providing clinical training in communities similar to those from which students came. For research, students may have a faculty mentor in their area of interest.
In order to ensure GME readiness, 职业生涯 counseling is provided by medical school faculty. 教师 review the resources provided by AACOM for medical student 职业生涯 advising (http://www.aacom.org/become-a-doctor/med-students/Career-planning/group-page/advisors). 学生 also have access to the AAMC 职业生涯s in Medicine (CiM) program. The SHSU-COM MSPE 职业生涯 Specialist is available to assist medical school faculty and enhance the 职业生涯 counseling process for SHSU-COM students through the provision of CV critiques, 模拟面试, 以及其他必要的职业发展资源.
教师建议
在入学考试, each student is assigned a faculty advisor who is available to provide general assistance throughout their undergraduate medical education. 在第三年, the faculty become more involved as students consider their residency choices and fourth-year schedules. 学生 are required to have at least one advising session with their assigned advisor during the months of February-March.
我们的许多教员都有指导学生的经验. 然而, all faculty participate in annual mandatory faculty development sessions led by the 课程 Administrative Team. 在这些会议中, faculty learn how to gauge students’ competitiveness for various residency specialties and programs, become familiar with our degree plan and schedule requirements for years 3 and 4 (including using VSLO to apply for Away Rotations), and accumulate additional resources needed to guide students through residency advising sessions.
学习社区
All entering first-year students are assigned to one of four 学习社区. 这些灵活的, student-centered social and academic homes are overseen by faculty and staff sponsors. 教师 may act as advisors, teachers, and 职业生涯 development coaches. The learning communities foster relationships between students and faculty and provide community service and team-building opportunities. Programming is student driven and might focus on such topics as social networking, 终身学习, 同伴指导, 医学专业, 道德, 工作与生活的平衡.
