HOSTS Program

Introducing HOSTS-LITE

HOSTS-LITE is a more simplified approach to the previous HOSTS (Helping Students To Succeed) program that was put in place for 4th year medical students during their residency interview season (typically October through January). 

The students will now contact the alumni office requesting a list of alumni volunteers based on their chosen specialty. Thanks to our amazing alumni, we have compiled 19 specialty lists complete with alumni contact information, residency location and current position. It is then up to the students to review the list and contact alumni to begin conversations as they see fit. Conversations can include information about the residency program, community information along with work/life balance.
