medical student career advising program
UF College of Medicine’s Career Advising Program aligns with the structure of the AAMC Careers in Medicine (CiM). The program is designed to expose students to medical specialties, guide career decision-making, and support residency application. UFCOM’s Faculty Career Coaches (FCC) can provide students with insight into their specialties, including ideal professional characteristics, clinical demands, lifestyle, and information about what constitutes a competitive application to their specialty. They can also be instrumental in assisting with shadowing and research opportunities, networking, and sharing information about specialty resources such as conferences. The Office of Student Affairs works with the FCCs to support career development. Students can begin to research specialty options by visiting AAMC Careers in Medicine and by arranging a meeting with one of the FCCs.
