The Counseling Program at the School of Medicine was started in 1980 and offers medical students evaluation, treatment and referral for a wide range of psychological needs. The program is dedicated to maintaining healthy and confident students and is both free of charge and highly confidential. A student using the program can be assured that no information shared in counseling is ever available to others without expressed permission of the student.
Medical training is an exciting but sometimes stressful process. Students may experience depression, anxiety, loss of confidence, sleep difficulties, relationship problems, eating problems, substance abuse, etc. These difficulties can interfere with academic performance and this often increases distress. It is hoped that if any such problems arise, students will contact the counseling program as soon as possible to avoid more serious problems from developing.
