UCAN, or the UM University Career Alumni Network, is a platform that enables students to connect with UM alumni and other professionals in a variety of disciplines, industries, etc.
In particular, pre-health students can easily connect with UM alumni/ae who are either currently enrolled in medical, dental, PA... school or other health profession program of choice or have recently graduated from it, gaining precious insights on these alumni's experience at that particular institution. Their perspectives can be particularly valuable as UM students prepare to travel to schools for their interviews or when they could use an insider’s perspective as they evaluate multiple admission offers.
- Students can join UCAN at: https://umich.peoplegrove.com with their umich ID.
- Alumni/Professionals register in UCAN at https://umich.peoplegrove.com/page/professionals.
In addition, those of you seeking a mentor to support you on your path to become a physician scientist may wish to look into the APSA Undergraduate Mentorship Program.
