Participate in the Medical School Mentoring Program
An annual Alumni Mentoring and Career Planning Session is held during Alumni Weekend. Alumni from a variety of specialties and geographic locations are invited to participate and speak about their career choices and answer questions from students.Participate in the HOST (Help Our Students Travel) Program
The HOST (Help Our Students Travel) Program is a service provided by alumni to senior medical students and physicians completing their residencies at Northwestern. Alumni from around the country provide assistance and advice as these students travel to a clinical rotation out of the area or interview for residencies, as well as for residents who are interviewing for positions.Participate in "Real Physicians of Feinberg"
These casual evening gatherings are organized by the MAA in partnership with current Feinberg students, wherein a small group of students joins with a chosen alumnus/a to discuss topics including choosing specialties, maintaining work/life balance, and working outside of academic medicine. The program aims to give students a wider array of perspectives on being a physician than they receive in the classroom.Chair, Mentoring Committee
