Early college success requires balancing a number of competing demands. To get started right...

Prioritize 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.

Find community  

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

Gain 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.

Build 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). 

Take care of yourself

• Balance your school and other responsibilities with activities that bring you joy
