Student Career Preparation Activities

Career Conversations

Career Conversations are sessions initiated by the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs and conducted by faculty and community physicians for various specialties. These sessions are designed primarily for Ms-1 and MS-2 students but are open to everyone. The sessions may include power point presentations, demonstrations of specialized equipment and Q & A time with the physicians. In the past academic year, “Career Conversations” have been held in the areas of: emergency medicine, anesthesiology, pediatrics, general surgery, radiology, otolaryngology, obstetrics and gynecology and family medicine.

Student Interest Group Organizations

Student-led interest groups and programs are held through the academic year. Interest groups, which are initiated and conducted by the medical students, all have a faculty advisor.  Students  interested in establishing an interest group should contact The office of Student Affairs. The list of current interest groups and their synopses are located here: https://jcesom.marshall.edu/students/student-organizations/
