Student Section

Between studying, figuring out how to use Vitals, and finding the underground tunnels or the scrub office, the first year of medical school can be overwhelming if you don’t have someone to turn to.

Luckily, each year a group of amazing OSUCOM M2s volunteer to be mentors to students in the M1 class! These M2 mentors help guide M1s through the intricacies of med school.

First year students interested in being paired with an M2 mentor should fill out the this form by August 8, 2018 at noon. The M1-M2 Mentor Reveal will be at 6:30 pm in Meiling 160 on August 8, 2018. Please contact osucomhim@gmail.com with any questions.

We hope to see you there!

Why you should consider adding a class or two to your summer schedule.

I came to Ohio State as a freshman with absolutely no college credits. Zero. None.

Many of my friends had taken courses at a local college throughout high school or had received credits from scoring well on their AP tests. I graduated high school in three years and while this may seem exciting, I felt behind when I started out as an undergraduate. I had taken IB courses (similar to AP), but because I graduated a year early, I did not take the IB tests to get college credit.

My solution: summer courses.

Of course, even those who were not “behind” like I was can and should take a class or two in the summer. In fact, I highly recommend it. Here’s why:
