Office of Medical Student Success


The Office of Medical Student Success was created to provide TCOM students a welcoming environment, timely and accurate advising, and programming designed to enhance their personal, professional, and career development through four functional areas: Advisory Colleges, Career Development, Student Events, and Intercultural Awareness activities.

The mission statement of each area is as follows:

Advisory Colleges: To promote the social, emotional, and vocational development of medical students.

Career Development: To provide comprehensive residency counseling for medical students through preclinical and clinical years in the areas of specialty exploration, residency application preparation, and successfully navigating the match.  

Student Events: To implement programming in each of the functional areas and collaborate with offices across campus to celebrate milestones and create memorable activities for medical students.

Intercultural Awareness: To integrate an enhanced educational experience to support a diverse student population through fostering an environment of inclusivity, respect, and celebration of all students by increasing cultural awareness in all activities.
