Academic Support and Enrichment

We support student success by assisting with a broad array of student needs and concerns. These include:

• the acclimation to increased academic demand
• the integration of knowledge and skills
• the navigation of institutional policies and requirements
• the strategic planning for future career paths
• the exploration of new strategies to excel academically

We aim to provide the most accurate information and the most relevant resources to guide and address student needs throughout their academic career.

MCW’s tutor team is available to assist students with the medical school and pharmacy school curriculum, as well as the homogenous pieces of the graduate school curriculum. This team expands to the regional campuses and provides online appointments for quick accessibility. Our tutors work closely with MCW Course Directors, faculty, and staff to provide exceptional academic support and meet the needs of a diverse student body.

MCW’s Academic Enhancement is an outstanding supplemental instruction program provided throughout the M1, M2, and M3 year. Tutors are MCW medical students who work closely with Academic Support and Enrichment and Course Directors and Coordinators to provide accurate, up-to-date information to be delivered in line with the course syllabus.

A number of resources are available to prepare and guide students as they study for the USMLE Step 1 and USMLE Step 2 CK Exams.

MCW’s required Clinical Advising Program provides an opportunity for rising Milwaukee M3 students to work closely with a clinical faculty member to individualize their senior schedule, build solid and cohesive ERAS packages for residency programs, and develop a professional identity under the guidance of a faculty role model.
