From matriculation through the transition to residency, medical students face numerous shared points where they must meet a predefined performance standard to advance to the next curricular phase. A student's experience navigating these points depends as much on institutional culture, structures, and supports as on their individual preparedness and ability. Join us for the “Junctures and Journeys: Helping Students Navigate the Critical Junctures of Medical Education” webinar where we will explore a new framework for Holistic Student Support with representatives from the Holistic Student Support Working Group (HSSWG).

In this webinar, we will explore:

• The core principles that drive holistic student support.
• Universal Medical School Critical Junctures students must navigate.
• A framework to help medical educators and student affairs professionals critically examine and change institutional structures to facilitate students’ capabilities to successfully navigate these junctures.

We're not just here to present; we want to hear from you! Engage with colleagues in a candid discussion on the model's utility and share your thoughts on further enriching this approach. Your involvement is the key to our shared success. Learn how you can stay engaged and be part of this transformative journey. 

Whether you're directly involved in student services, educational affairs, or simply passionate about the evolution of medical education, this webinar is designed with you in mind. Let’s work together to champion a holistic approach that ensures every medical student is poised for success.
