The Office of Student Affairs is responsible for providing services and resources to assist the total development of medical students—intellectual, social, cultural, physical, emotional, and ethical.
The office oversees the progress of students throughout their medical school years, informed by policies of both the University and the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). It acts as the liaison among the students, the administration and the faculty.
The Associate Dean for Student Affairs oversees all functions and activities of the Student Affairs Office and is available to meet with and advise students. Office staff members provide counseling for students with personal or academic issues.
Each year, Student Affairs plans the orientation week for new students, the combined White Coat and Faculty Teaching Awards Ceremony, Dean's Awards Ceremonies, Match Breakfast, and the Keck School Commencement.
Student Affairs acts as the official Registrar for the Keck School of Medicine. The Registrar keeps academic records and transcripts in accordance with University, AAMC, and federal guidelines and verifies medical school education information for licensing. The office handles business matters such as loan deferments, insurance discounts, and letters confirming academic status.
The Office of Student Affairs also coordinates the Visiting Student Clerkship program for fourth-year medical students, as well as the Global Health Scholars Program.
More information for current students is available on MedWeb.
