Specialty Advisors

Undergraduate Medical Education

Medical students receive career advising through a network of faculty coaches, general career advisors, and approximately 32 specialty advisors selected by their departments. Through structured Veritas coaching meetings and specialty-specific mentoring, advisors help students explore career options, identify shadowing opportunities, connect with physicians across specialties, and prepare for residency applications. Advisors also review academic records and compare student performance with national residency data to help students make informed decisions about specialty selection and residency programs that align with their qualifications and career goals.
