CACMS Element 11.1: Academic Advising
This element states that a medical school has an effective system of academic advising in place for medical students that integrates the efforts of faculty members, directors of required learning experiences, and student affairs staff with its counseling and tutorial services and ensures that medical students can obtain academic counseling from individuals who have no role in making assessment or advancement decisions about them.
Did you know?
The MD Program Conflict of Interest in Student Assessment Policy supports our compliance with this element and ensures that medical students can obtain academic counseling from individuals who have no role in making assessment or advancement decisions about them. For example, the Director, Learning and Student Support in the MD Program, as well as faculty in the Office of Advocacy & Wellbeing and any non-assessing mentors for students have no role in assessment or advancement decisions.
