Choosing a career path is one of the most significant decisions a medical student will make. At Emory, career planning begins at matriculation and continues throughout medical school.
The goal of EmoryDOCS (Development of Careers and Specialty Choice) is to advise and assist medical students about career decision-making, career exploration, choosing a specialty, and getting into residency. We also assist and develop relationships with Emory School of Medicine alumni.
Our program offers the tools necessary for you to succeed through counseling, workshops, mock interviews, information panels, alumni relations, self-assessment and career research.
