“What I Wish I Knew” - UCSF Med School

Accessible peer advice —>

better medical student wellbeing

We’ve surveyed/interviewed dozens of graduating UCSF MS4s on “what they wish they knew” for the various stages of medical school. This site is designed to be a peer-advising resource offering consolidated, comprehensive advice for all four-years of medical school.

Our goal is to help current and future students better prepare for and succeed as medical students at UCSF, from matriculation to graduation.

UCSF SOM grads attribute near-peer advice as one of the most valuable resources that helped them succeed in medical school.

This website is dedicated to information equity—ensuring medical students have the same access to peer advice.
