Meet the Student Affairs Deans

Selecting a specialty and navigating the residency application process can be challenging. SMHS provides a wide range of opportunities to explore medical specialties and other career paths beginning as early as your first year and extending to your graduation or beyond. The office of Student Affairs is a key resource available to you throughout your journey in medicine.

Mission

The Office of Student Affairs (OSA) aims to provide comprehensive and individualized academic and career advisory services to guide and support students throughout their medical education journey. All students are linked to a Student Affairs Dean, who works collaboratively with a team of committed professionals to promote academic and personal success in medical school.
