The MD Program is actively seeking applicants for upcoming vacancies on the Academic Career Advising Program (ACAP) team to support and promote personal and professional development and student success across the curriculum. This is a unique opportunity to join an enthusiastically engaged, highly collaborative group of faculty mentors and student services professionals at the intersection of career exploration and mentorship.

Primary responsibilities for the ACAP House Mentor position include providing mentorship and guidance to students through their time in the MD curriculum, supporting student career exploration, guiding students through the residency match process, and supporting student wellness. There is a strong commitment to the engagement and support of those underrepresented in medicine. Each of the five ACAP House Mentors is assigned to a learning community (House) where they follow cohorts of students throughout their education. Please see the attached position description for further information.
