Starting in year one, medical students will attend a 1:1 career advising appointment with student affairs to review their Career Action Plan, which is a roadmap for their medical school career. Students bring in a completed plan, along with their current Curriculum Vitae (CV) and discuss possible career pathways as well as opportunities at UT that will help them reach their long-term career goals.

Throughout a student's time in medical school there will be a multitude of career advising resources and opportunities offered; all based on the needs of each class. The Office of Student Affairs is committed to designing career advising programming that helps students in building their roadmap to residency.
