Volunteer with the UC College of Medicine
Engagement Opportunities
Alumni volunteers provide medical students with vital career and professional development opportunities complementary to the curriculum. From presenting to students in classes, sharing career advice and perspectives during virtual networking events, or reconnecting with your fellow classmates at the annual alumni reunion, there are countless ways alumni can stay connected and enhance the medical education experience for the next generation of aspring physicians.
Contact Jennifer Theiss, senior director of alumni engagement, to learn more.
The Office of Medical Student Admissions invites alumni to participate in the admissions interview process for the 2025-26 application cycle. Alumni volunteers are needed to conduct 30 minute 1:1 virtual interviews with medical school applicants. Interview prompts and scoring rubrics will be provided.
Interviews will take place October through April.
No committee service is required -- just your passion, experience and desire to uplift the next generations of physicians.

Alumni are invited to share career insights and professional experiences with current medical students at events held during the academic year. The goal of these events is to enhance the professional development of future physicians and encourage students to begin building their professional networks.
Every August during new student orientation week, alumni, donors, and faculty members host welcome dinners for incoming M1 students at local restaurants or residences. The dinners, called Dinner with Bearcats Alumni, are a treasured part of orientation. Hosts play an important role in helping to welcome new students to the UC College of Medicine community.
Contact Jennifer Theiss at jennifer.theiss@foundation.uc.edu to host a future dinner.
The College of Medicine Alumni Executive Council serves in an advisory capacity to the UC Alumni Association. Comprised of college alumni representatives from every graduation year, council members foster lifelong connections between alumni, the College of Medicine and the UC Alumni Association. The council's efforts focus on building strong fellowship among alumni through reunion programming, supporting the professional development of medical students through career-focused events, and celebrating the achievements of UC medicine alumni through annual award and recognition programs.
Provide your contact information for our M-4 students interviewing for residency to reach out to you with questions about a program, hospital and/or city in your area.

Help current medical students learn more about a particular specialty. While the students gain valuable knowledge of various specialties through rotations, your insight as an alumnus/alumna and practicing physician is a point of view not captured in their rotations.
