What is Career and Professional Development?

At RVU, career planning begins at admissions and continues through medical school. Career counselors and advisors work collaboratively with students to answer questions and concerns regarding the career decision-making process. Individualized career counseling sessions help students select specialties, create CVs and ePortfolios in their pre-clinical years, and prepare for audition externships, interviews, and residency during clinical years. Students are directed to useful resources to achieve professional goals and develop meaningful careers.

Throughout your time at RVU, we are eager to help you develop your personal and professional development. As an RVU student, we hope to help you foster your professional development through a 9-pronged skill-set approach, our Professional Development Puzzle.
