Through the Office of Institutional Advancement, students have access to a supportive network of opportunities for their professional growth. From mentorship and career guidance to professional connections, these resources help bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world opportunity.
As the Office of Institutional Advancement’s (IA) Student Liaison, Finny helps students connect with our network of 20,000+ alumni and tap into resources provided by IA, such as mentors, club speakers, travel funding, scholarships, club funding, and more. Whenever students see Finny, they know that an event or resource is being brought to them by IA.
Students can apply for travel awards to assist with expenses related to attending conferences, presenting research, attending medical mission trips, or participating in community service projects.
With an extensive list of alumni willing to speak to students, we can help student organizations find a great speaker to share professional insights with their members.
Over 600 alumni representing all programs have agreed to serve as mentors. Search the directory by mentor location, degree, specialty, and more.
Institutional Advancement has funds reserved to help student organizations cover expenses associated with hosting alumni speakers on a first-come, first-served basis.
Each fall, fourth year DO students may sign up for a virtual mock residency interview with an alum in their preferred specialty.
Throughout the year, Institutional Advancement offers events for students to help them connect with alumni. Check back often as events are frequently added.
If you are looking to connect with a specific alum, we encourage you to first search our Connect to Your Future Mentor Directory to see if their information is available. If they are not listed, please contact us at finny@pcom.edu. Due to privacy, we cannot release alumni information to students without the alum’s permission. We will reach out to the alum for permission to share their contact information with you.
