Student Affairs Staff

Specialty Advisors work in specific medical specialties, and provide guidance to students interested in that field. You will choose your Specialty Advisor prior to Year 3. Specialty Advisors can give advice on individual programs in their field; review/edit your CV, personal statement, and other residency application materials; and provide letters of recommendation. They are familiar with the application process within their specialty.
