Early college success requires balancing a number of competing demands. Get started right by...

Prioritizing your academics

• Build strong study habits (utilizing available supports as necessary). 
• In addition to developing strong science competencies (in the classroom and laboratory), explore non-science courses that expand your understanding of our complex world and about people, particularly those with lived experiences different from your own.

Finding Community  

• Connect with others through student clubs and organizations, identity-based centers, community-based activities, your Residential Learning Community, a Career Interest Group, etc.

Gaining exposure to healthcare

• Find creative ways to keep your pulse on healthcare-related issues by following the news, and engaging with people in the field through networking, volunteering, shadowing, and paid experiences.

Building your character

• Reflect on who you are and way you can grow into the professional you want to be.  The guide below outlines the professional competencies defined by the Association American of Medical Colleges (AAMC). 

Taking care of yourself
