Medical school is stressful as is the work of a physician.
A wide range of problems can undermine a medical student's effectiveness. In addition, the program seeks to protect patients and others from the harm that such impairment may cause. Successful participation in this program will not adversely affect a student's education or career. Student representatives are volunteers chosen from each medical school class to serve for the four years in which they are enrolled in medical school. Faculty members are selected who have demonstrated concern and experience in counseling students.
