Medical Student Advising

Johns Hopkins School of Medicine College Advisory Program (CAP)

Johns Hopkins School of Medicine College Advisory Program (CAP) strives to support individual students in their growth and development through a model anchored by one-on-one advising around academic performance, career exploration, identity formation, and personal awareness and reflection about each student's own lived experiences before and during their medical education.  This focus on the individual is embedded in the larger college's community that includes connections between and across years, small group advising, informational programming, and social activities.  CAP offers students a unique opportunity to not only learn the fundamental clinical skills of medicine, including professionalism and humanism, but to also reflect on the transformative experience of becoming a physician with a trusted advisor and small group of peers.
