Medical Student Career Advising
UTCOMLS's systematic approach to career advising spans all four years of medical school — from orientation to graduation — and is linked to critical junctures and transitions throughout your medical school career. OSA is the hub for career and residency application counseling.
Services and resources include:
- Individual counseling

The University has a number of resources available to students through its Virtual Career Center website, including Big Interview, a tool that will enhance your job interviewing skills and
develop an edge over the competition.
Student Leadership & Professional Development
Medical school student organizations are key to your personal, professional, and career development.
You have the opportunity to participate in and lead student chapters of national medical associations as well as organizations/clubs related to various medical specialties, interprofessional health activities, community service experiences, and a variety of special interests.
In addition to organizations, you have the opportunity to apply to serve on College and campus-wide committees with faculty, staff and community members.
Students can connect and communicate with student organizations across the University
using Invonet.
