Tutoring Program
The School of Medicine has a program to provide review sessions in coordination with the course chairs that is available to all medical students free of charge. Individual tutors are available to assist students as deemed appropriate for the student’s needs. Our Academic Skills Counselor, who is available for consultation in the Student Resource Center, oversees this program. For the first and second year HuBio curriculum, the course chairs are asked to identify individuals who can provide tutoring for students. If difficulties arise in the clinical curriculum, arrangements related to the deficiency will be developed through the Student Affairs Office in consultation with the student’s College mentor and clinical clerkship director.
The review and tutoring program for the HuBio curriculum is coordinated through the School of Medicine’s Student Resource Center, which is in Room T-557. The phone number is 206.616.9606* or email cheekj@uw.edu.
If tutoring is needed, the student may speak with the course chair to discuss what options are available or may self-refer directly to the Academic Skills Counselor. In some courses, review sessions are arranged within the structure of the course. In other courses, group tutoring session may be set-up through the Academic Skills Counselor.
*Students at the first year regional WWAMI sites can work with the learning specialist in Seattle via email or phone appointments. Questions about tutoring should be directed to the respective regional WWAMI office.
