The newly-created Office of Academic and Career Development is specifically designed to meet the academic and career exploration and planning needs of students throughout their medical education. We are housed in Suite 1016 of the Byrd Clinical Center, and are open Monday through Friday from 9 to 5. Appointments are not necessary, though they are appreciated. All walk-ins are welcome. Earlier and later appointments can be easily arranged.
