Assessing Your Career Path

Not long after beginning medical school, students begin the process of exploring and eventually deciding upon the area of medicine in which they would like to practice. The Medical Student Counseling Center (MSCC) can help guide students through this process with individual career assessment and counseling. 

As early as the first year, counseling can help students begin examining and prioritizing their values, and start recognizing skills and interests. 

MSCC counselors can provide students with information about self-assessment tools and/or personality inventories that can help to identify or clarify characteristics for a good fit in a specific area of medicine.
