BUSM I Orientation (2021)

Class of 2025 BUSM I Orientation (July 28 version)

Schedule Attached

Please note there are two tabs on the Excel document:

  1. The first tab notes the Monday – Saturday schedule.
  2. The second tab – titled “AME Rooms” – notes which Advising group you’ve been assigned to, and when you’ll be meeting with your Core Advisor throughout the week (some Advisors will email you to find alternate times). Yes, you will have to step out of some sessions in order to meet with your advisor for brief one-on-one meetings.

More on Advising Groups

  • For Monday’s Advising Breakfast, you should sit at the table marked with your advisor’s name.
  • You will meet with your advisors one-on-one and as a small group either on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday (this corresponds with your Doctoring 1 day).
  • If you are not scheduled for your group advising meeting from 4:30 – 5 pm because your group has already met or will meet on a different day, we invite you to take campus tours with Student Admissions Ambassadors. The sign-up link is included in the schedule.

Your Orientation activities will be hosted in the BU Medical Campus Instructional Building (72 East Concord Street, Boston, MA 02118).
