Student Counseling Services
Windsor University Scholl of Medicine has a robust Academic Advising Program which is run under
the umbrella of the SASP which includes a variety of other student support services. The SASP is
directly under the supervision of the Office of Student Affairs.

Academic Advising is the cornerstone for any successful medical school. Windsor University strongly
believes in this philosophy and gives great emphasis on this area of educational environment. The
mission of Office of Student Affairs is to offer Counseling Services to create an environment that fosters
student growth, development, and psychological wellbeing.
The Office for Student Affairs is the central support resource throughout a student's medical school
career. Academic and career counseling is readily available to students as they experience the rigorous
curriculum of medical education.
Academic Advisement
Advisors and mentors play an essential role in guiding students successfully through medical school.
At different stages during the four years, both faculty and peer advisors help students maintain a
balanced, long-term perspective while they are immersed in the program. The WUSOM advising
program is centered through the system of student academics. Advisors can help connect students with
resources such as tutoring and other support services.

1. Personal Academic Advising
2. Course-Based/Subject-based Academic Advising
3. Other additional advising which includes
