Office of Student Counseling Services

The College of Medicine Office of Student Counseling Services offers on-site and telepsychology (via Zoom) services for academic and mental health needs. This office has no involvement in the academic evaluation or promotion of students. All services provided by this office are free of charge to current CoM students, including those enrolled in the MD, Bridge, PA, and Biomedical Sciences programs. Confidentiality of student concerns and records are maintained at all times, with the exception of those instances when information must be legally and ethically reported. The office consists of three licensed psychologists and an administrative specialist. The licensed psychologists are available to work with individuals and small groups of students with concerns related to academic improvement and personal issues.

Services offered by all providers include academic consultation for those wishing to improve their academic performance and/or mental health therapy for those who have any personal difficulties that have the potential to impact overall well-being.
