Volunteer with the UC College of Medicine
Opportunities
Alumni volunteers provide medical students with vital career and professional development opportunities complementary from 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 UC College of Medicine Admissions Team engages volunteers to serve as application screeners and interview raters. The perspectives of faculty, students, staff, alumni and community members in the selection process are highly valued. No prior experience is needed. Training will be provided. Contact Jennifer Theiss: jennifer.theiss@foundation.uc.edu.
Share your experiences with students in-person or virtually through networking events that facilitate career pathway and mentorship conversations.
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 the new students to the UC College of Medicine community.
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.
