Peer Advising & Mentorship

What are Drop-Ins and How Do They Work?

Drop-Ins provide a casual, in-person space where you can connect with peers, current Keck School of Medicine students, and invited health professionals to seek guidance, ask questions, and gain inspiration on your unique pre-health journey. Whether you have specific questions or simply wish to hear about others’ experiences, there’s no specific requirement for interaction. Join us and gain tailored support towards your unique pre-health journey!

Drop-In Peer Advising

The Peer Advising Drop-Ins are held by third and fourth-year students who are academically high-achieving and have meaningful co-curricular involvement, clinical experiences, research, and leadership roles. First-year students are encouraged to utilize drop-in mentorship before meeting with a staff advisor!

  Reasons to Meet with a Peer Advisor

Panel Discussion with Keck Students

“The Path to Medicine: Panel with Keck Students” is an opportunity to learn from current medical students’ experiences of preparing and getting into medical school. Participants can ask questions live at the end.

Drop-In Mentorship with Invited Healthcare Professionals

Drop Ins with Professional Mentors are sessions where invited professionals from a variety of fields get to connect with you to discuss their experiences, review what admissions panels look for in a competitive applicant, and answer any of your questions regarding your path.
