Medical School is both Medical School is both Rewarding and Demanding!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 non-judgmentmental environment

• Other resources include Drs. Ingersoll & McNeil as well as Dr. O’Barr and his colleagues

04/19/23 7

Potential Conflicts of InterestPotential 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
