Mission:
The Office of Student Affairs is committed to meeting the personal, academic and professional needs of students throughout all four years of medical education. We support students by being accessible, responsive, and advocating on their behalf. We work with faculty and administration to facilitate a positive learning environment based upon mutual respect between teacher and learner. Mutual respect precedes and contributes to the development of professional and collegial attitudes that must be nurtured in medical students so they can become skilled and compassionate health care providers.
