TCOM Students: The Peer Adviser program is designed to provide current medical students with firsthand advising and assistance from recently-matched 2019 students who have “been there, done that” and can share these experiences from their own perspective. These volunteer fourth year students are equipped to provide one-on-one and group advising sessions, programs, and resources, and are prepared to help answer the question, “What I wish I would have known then…” Their services are meant to complement, but not replace, those that are provided formally through UNTHSC faculty and staff, including TCOM Advising & Career Development and the Career Center.
To schedule an appointment, contact a Peer Advisor pertaining to your desired program. You can find the list of Peer Advisers, with their matched specialties and contact information here: https://www.unthsc.edu/students/career-center/peer-advisors/. Note: All Peer Advising Sessions should preferably take place on the UNTHSC campus or at a pre-approved, mutually agreed-upon setting conducive to the productive advising relationship.
