How Often Can I Speak with a Medical School Advisor?

Our team advises specifically for our Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine MD program. It is recommended that you reach out early in your college career or other pathway when you realize you are interested in pursuing a career in medicine or as soon as you decide to change careers and pursue medicine. Our advisors are here to help you understand the application process, to guide you on what activities you should be engaged in, and to provide guidance on the character traits and experiences that are mission-aligned with our program. You are also welcome to speak to our advisors as often as is needed to prepare to apply.
