Workshop 1: New Advisors’ Workshops

This workshop will provide new advisors with a wealth of information, tools, and resources (including the New Advisors Handbook) from a panel of seasoned advisors.  The goal of this session is to assist new advisors with the difficult transition into their new roles as health professions advisors, putting them on the quick path to excellence.   Come expecting a lively exchange of information and ideas about your new responsibilities as a health professions advisor.  This session is divided into two sections: “Mentor, Pal, or Gatekeeper: What Role Should an Advisor Play?” and  “The Application Process from A to Z.”

 

 

2:00 – 3:15 pm

Topic 1:  “Mentor, Pal, or Gatekeeper: What Role Should an Advisor Play?”

Description: A number of questions are proposed to give focus to this session.  What role should an advisor play in helping health professions students?   What are the professional qualities important to being an effective health professions advisor?   How do you want to be perceived in your role as a health professions advisor?” 

Moderator:  Glen Zamansky, Boston University

Panel:
·        Kerry Cheesman, Capital University
·        Joni Huff, Yale University
·        Cecilia Fox, Occidental College

 

 

3:35 – 4:50 pm

Topic 2:  “The Application Process from A to Z”

As with the earlier session, this one will center around a number of questions.  How do you go about evaluating your health professions students?   What do you need to know about the application process, writing letters of evaluation, conducting an effective interview, and the selection process at health professions institutions? Equally importantly, where do you go when you need help?

Moderator:  Glen Zamansky, Boston University

Panelists:           
·        Linda Scott, University of California -Davis
·        Kay Singer, Duke University
·        Others

The valuable Premedical Advisor’s Reference Manual will be available for sale at this session

Workshop 2: Experienced Advisors’ Workshops

Professional development is a work in progress as advisors soon find out after entering health professions advising.   The two sessions, The Postbac Experience and Listening Skills, provide experienced advisors with new information and tools to enhance their ongoing effectiveness as health professions advisors.  

 

 

2:00 – 3:15 pm

Topic 1:  The Postbac Experience

    

The goal of this session is to introduce advisors to the various types of postbac programs and help delineate the factors students should consider when choosing among them.  Representatives from a selective career-changer program, an undergraduate enhancement program, a special master's program and a program specifically servicing underrepresented minority students will give brief presentations. 

 

 

3:30 – 4:50 pm

Topic 2:  How To Listen So Students Will Talk, And Talk So Students Will Listen      

Interactive exercises with two nationally and internationally known authorities will provide advisors with an instrument to judge their listening skills and to translate what was learned into valuable tools to help students improve their ability to be effective listeners.
