UAG CENTER FOR STUDENT SUCCESS

The Center for Student Success Department has one goal: helping students thrive in the UAG International Medical Program.

The accurate measure of student success is how well students are prepared to accomplish their current and future goals.

The Student Success Team will support you during your journey to become a Physician by offering support through the following initiatives:

1. Early Alert & Intervention Program

Identifies students who need support to improve their academic performance at an early stage and refers them for Academic Success Coaching and other services offered at the Center for Student Success.

2. Academic Success Coaching

Individualized counseling sessions on learning strategies, discipline, and motivation to help improve students´ academic performance.

3. Teaching Assistant (TA) Program

Every semester, the Medical School Faculty in collaboration with the office of student success, selects top students to become Tas and CSD mentors. Tas and CSD mentors conduct review sessions prior to each exam and hold office hours to answer students' questions and offer guidance for successful completion of their coursework.

4. Peer-Mentoring Program

To ensure that incoming students adapt smoothly to Medical School and life in Guadalajara, new students are paired with an upper classmate to facilitate their assimilation into medical school and living abroad.

5. Mental Health Counseling and Wellness Services

A team of certified Psychologists, along with a referral system to other health professionals and Physicians, is accessible for students to take care of their health and perform at their maximum capacity in Medical School.

6. Language Program (ESL and SSL)

In collaboration with the UAG International Language Center, we offer diagnostic exams and tailored courses to support students not fully proficient in English and/or Spanish.

7. USMLE Coaching

The center for student success provides one-on-one coaching and counseling to students to ensure successful preparation for their Board Exams (USMLE Step and USMLE Step 2).
