dc.description.abstractHaving an advisor offers medical students many advantages, including increased likelihood of matching into their top choices. Interestingly, students who choose emergency medicine (EM) as a specialty are more likely to seek advising. However, finding and optimally utilizing an EM faculty advisor is often challenging for the medical student. In this article, we tackle the different ways to seek advising, including the 'virtual advisor program' implemented by the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine, the 'e-Advisor Program' instigated by the Clerkship Director in EM Group, the 'member exclusive mentorship program' of the Emergency Medicine Residency Association, as well as peer-based mentoring. More so, we discuss the consensus recommendations developed by the Student Advising Task Force to guide both students planning to apply to EM and their advisors to ensure high-caliber advising.
