Welcome future doctor! This site is designed for academic success in the School of Medicine at Wayne State University. In general, graduate school is difficult. Specifically, medical school is an experience that challenges your commitment, determination, stamina, and perseverance.
Believe it or not, students can and do experience difficulty in medical school. Some problems medical students encounter include:
- transitioning from undergraduate to graduate school
- poor study skills, habits, and techniques
- balancing courses with other commitments
- self-esteem and confidence
- motivation and procrastination
Recognizing that everyone needs support to be successful in medical school, various resources are free and available to all current WSU medical students.
These resources include:
- Tutoring for Basic Science courses
- Back to School Review (for rising Year 2 students)
- 20 Minute Case Studies (small group problem-solving sessions)
- Comprehensive Step 1 exam practices
- Lunchtime Review Sessions (for Year 1 courses)
In addition, one-on-one sessions with the Academic Support Counselor, Leah Robinson, can be scheduled office by calling Students Affairs.
To make an appointment call:
(313) 577-1463
Supplemental course resources for each year are found in the links below.
Being successful in medical schools requires two distinct skills: readiness and resourcefulness. If you are thinking about pursuing a medical degree or any other graduate program, make sure you are ready!
