Class of 2027 Orientation

​Congratulations on your acceptance to the UCSD School of Medicine.  We are all looking forward to seeing you in person on Monday, August 28th, 2023 for an orientation week that will conclude with the White Coat ceremony on Thursday, August 31st, 2023. It will be our privilege to work with you over the course of your medical education. More information will be released in the coming months about Orientation week events.

Up until now, most of you have primarily had contact with our Admissions group. Over the coming months, you will be interacting with additional student and curricular support units.

The Office of Student Affairs (OSA) will be your primary point of contact for administrative matters as you enter the School of Medicine and make your way through medical school.

The Office of Diversity and Community Partnerships (DCP) offers support for students interested in working in community-academic partnerships and on diversity projects. It is additionally the home for our PRIME-Health Equity program.

The MedEd Educational Technology Office (MedEDTech) provides a wide range of technology-based resources and activities including the Canvas LMS (Learning Management System), MedHub Evaluation and Scheduling System, ExamSoft and other MedEDTech online resources. Your access privileges to these resources will be automatically expanded as you approach the beginning of school.

The Office of Undergraduate Medical Education provides support for the core and elective components of the medical school curriculum, the educational support services, course evaluations, and the multidisciplinary and anatomy laboratories.

Additional information will be forthcoming over the summer months via email and Canvas regarding prematriculation requirements as well as information for family about the White Coat Ceremony. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the Student Affairs Office at (858) 534-3700 or by e-mail.
