Goals of Advising System
• Provide a pool of diverse and well trained
faculty to serve as advisors for medical
students.
• Foster a relationship between each student
and a faculty member where students can
receive guidance and counseling in order to
be successful in their endeavors to create
their own physician identity.
• Promote a relationship which is free from
conflicts of interest which might preclude
open and honest communication.

with advisors once each semester.
• Additional meetings can be scheduled as
needed
• Our hope is to establish a community – your

Medical School is both
Rewarding and Demanding!
• Our goal is to create an environment to help you
succeed
• The practice of medicine is a high stress environment
which may expose hidden weakness:
» E.g., anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders,
learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders
• Advisors provide a safe environment where you can ask
for help if needed
• Advisors are well versed and trained regarding LGBTQ
and cultural issues, please be assured that this is a nonjudgmentmental environment
• Other resources include Drs. Ingersoll & McNeil as well
as Dr. O’Barr and his colleagues

Potential Conflicts of Interest
• Advisors are trained to be “specialty neutral”
• Some advisors have multiple roles:
» Course directors
» Clerkship directors
» Small group instructors
» Clinical preceptors
• Multiple roles give them incredible knowledge but can
also create conflicts of interests
• Program has built in redundancy
• We make every attempt to not have advisors in a role
where they are directly evaluating you
