Career Advising
Career development is an integral part of the formal and informal curriculum at our University and is designed to assist students in synthesizing their knowledge and self-understanding with their personal career decision. Curricular and co-curricular career development activities and programming are coordinated through the Office of Student Affairs.
The goals of our career development program are to assist students in:
- Developing the knowledge, skills and attitudes required for making career decisions.
- Developing life planning activities which integrate career with family, leisure, friendship and community
- Becoming cognizant of medical or pharmacy specialties in a variety of settings
- Understanding your values and how they fit into the practice of medicine or pharmacy
- Understanding the need for life-long identity development
Students have many opportunities during their education to work on each of these goals in detail. Because each student is at a different stage of career development, there are many resources accompanying each goal to guide them in working on their own. It is important to remember that career development is not a static process. As a student’s knowledge and skills develop it is important that students revisit these goals frequently.
