Who's On Your Advising Team?
FPC Competency Coaches - Starting in the first year, small group coaches work to help students understand UCSF's MD Competencies and guide their development to reach the established milestones.
Advisory College Mentors - The Advisory College Program is designed to provide mentoring and personalized academic advising, facilitate student communication among peers and faculty, and guide students through an array of educational resources, timelines, clinical care settings, and prospective career options.
Interest Groups - Getting involved with interest groups is a great way for students to learn more about various careers in medicine. Students learn more about career and professional options, career lifestyles, research and educational opportunities, shadowing opportunities, schedule planning, residency application tips/resources.
Medical Student Services Advising Team - Starting in fall of the second year, Cha Viloria and Heather Peng advise students on the clinical curriculum and help ensure that all requirements are met while students also pursue personal areas of interest.
Career Advisors - Career Advisors are UCSF faculty who have been selected by their department to advise medical students through the specialty selection and residency application process.
Associate Deans - Dr. Susan Masters, Associate Dean for Curriculum, and Dr. Maxine Papadakis, Associate Dean for Students, are always happy to meet with medical students to discuss their curricular progress, career planning, or general advising questions.
