CAREER ADVISING AND PLANNING

Welcome to Career Advising at MCOM

As a future osteopathic physician, you are embarking on a fulfilling and impactful journey. At MCOM, we understand that the journey to becoming a physician is not just about acquiring knowledge; it's also about shaping your future career path in medicine. We are dedicated to fostering your personal and professional growth, ensuring that you are well-prepared to excel in the rapidly evolving world of medicine.

Through personalized one-on-one career counseling sessions, workshops, networking events, and access to a wealth of career information, we will offer you the support you need to pursue a rewarding career in the field of osteopathic medicine. The road to residency is a developmental process that involves four key phases:

  • Understanding Yourself
  • Exploring Options
  • Choosing a Specialty
  • Preparing for residency

MCOM career advisors offer a holistic approach towards helping students prepare for fulfilling careers in osteopathic medicine. Career advisors work collaboratively with students to answer questions and concerns regarding the career decision-making process. Career-specific programing and individualized career counseling sessions help students understand their own preferences and interests, learn about the 160+ specialties, and create and build CVs in their pre-clinical years, and, during clinical years, understand competitiveness for specialties, prepare for audition externships, interviews, and residency. Students will have access to a site with useful career resources, including a roadmap outlining important steps to take each year as they prepare for residency and work toward achieving their professional goals.
