Faculty Advisory Program

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Faculty Advisory Program website. Choosing a medical specialty is one of the most significant decisions you will make in your lifetime and with the increasing competition to enter a residency program, we make every effort that all medical students are assigned a career advisor. Throughout your medical schooling, you are assigned a career advisor to help you with your career planning and development.

Mission

The Faculty Advisory Program’s (FAP) mission is to recruit and train SOM MD faculty, collaborate with other departments and leverage resources to provide ongoing personal and career development activities for students in the MD program.

Foundational Structure

We have adopted the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Careers in Medicine (CiM) platform as the foundational structure. Choosing a medical specialty is one of the most significant decisions you will make. With increasing competition for residency positions, it's critical that you make your decisions strategically. Careers in Medicine (CiM) can help you.

Advising Structure

It is a two-tier structure to meet its mission in providing a comprehensive and thorough program.
