Onboarding Checklist (By Campus)

Entering medical school is a time of great transition. In order to help that transition be as smooth as possible, we have created an “onboarding checklist.” The checklist is helpful to get an idea of what is to come and when the deadlines will be for those actions. Many of the items on the checklist will be explained in more detail via email.
