Welcome to Your ZSOM Journey!
The Office of Student Affairs is excited to welcome you to an orientation experience designed to launch your medical education journey with confidence and connection. Our comprehensive week-long program takes place on campus during the final week of July, setting you up for success before classes begin the first Monday of August.
What to Expect
Your orientation week is packed with essential experiences including academic overviews, curriculum insights from upper class students, introductions to our extensive student support services, and engaging social events that help you build lasting connections. From professional development sessions to community service opportunities, every element is designed to help you transition smoothly into medical school life and the ZSOM community.
Getting Started
Once accepted, and closer to the orientation week, you will receive detailed orientation information and onboarding requirements. We will keep you updated on any pre-matriculation requirements and schedule changes via email, ensuring you're fully prepared for this exciting milestone.
