Course and Exam Schedules
It is recommended that advisors and mentors be aware of their mentee’s
course and examination schedule so that support can be offered at key
times. Block schedules offer an overview of the typical curricular
quarter for MSI/MSII. Exam schedules are posted inside the MedEd Web Portal and list exam dates by quarter for MSI/MSII. Exam schedules can
be found in the Course Resources link on the left hand side navigation
pane. The academic calendars show important dates for the first through
fourth year.
Counseling & Psychological Services
UCSD provides confidential mental health services that are included in
the students’ fees. Many medical students take advantage of this
resource. At times mentors, advisors, or deans will make a referral for a
student if we are concerned that there may be symptoms of depression or
anxiety, or simply overwhelming stress related to school or personal
matters. The process for doing this is simply to advise the student to
call (858) 534 - 3755 and set up an appointment. Be aware that Counseling and Psychological Services is part of UCSD Student Health, and students’
confidentiality is protected. The Office of Student Affairs is not
aware of which students seek treatment unless the students tell us
themselves or sign a release for their provider to communicate with us.
School of Medicine Liaison
Contact the front desk staff of CAPS at
(858) 534 - 3755 to arrange for an appointment. Sarah Clavell Storer, Ph.D
and David Kersey MD are the CAPS liaisons to SOM, and can be contacted
directly for any additional assistance to our medical students.
