Student Affairs
Student Affairs provides support, information and services that guide and assist students throughout their medical education experience. View Student Handbook (pdf).
Academic Success
UVM utilizes a multi-level approach for academic support programs, with course directors, peers, faculty advisors, and specialized external resources all supporting the academic needs of students.
Career Planning
Advisors and mentors play an essential role in guiding students through medical school, and many resources are available to help with choosing a career in medicine.
Clinical Experiences
Starting in the first year, medical students receive hands-on clinical training to acquire the skills necessary to become practice-ready physicians. These skills are introduced during the student’s first venture into the medical school curriculum and then taught and evaluated during all four years of their medical school experience.
Learning Communities
The Learning Communities system provides comprehensive support to all medical students within a structured system that addresses academic progress, facilitates career advising, promotes personal wellness and is fully integrated within the medical curriculum.
Student Financial Services
Our services for students begin with prospective students and continue on to help our Alumni as they enter their residencies and beyond. We advise students on all aspects of their student aid including financing their medical education, debt management matters, and financial literacy.
Student Life
Student life is more than exams, classes and patients. We encourage our students to stay healthy, get involved, learn more about Vermont, and be active both educationally and recreationally on and off campus.
Personal Wellness
We recognize that personal wellness plays an integral role in medical student success, and help students learn to manage the stress of academic challenges, high standards and career choice dilemmas.
