Student Support and Wellness
All Pritzker students are supported by a broad network of faculty and staff. The Office of Student Affairs and Programs and the Office of Health Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion are two of the many entry points for students to access important services and information.
The Office of Student Affairs and Programs offers valuable resources for career development and mentorship, as well as personal and professional well-being. In addition to our formal programs, you will find that informal mentoring relationships develop through regular interactions with faculty, staff, and classmates.
The Office of Health Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion works with all offices at Pritzker to create an inclusive learning environment to support students in their professional growth, scholarly pursuits, and community-engaged activities.

Wellness at Pritzker
Wellness is a journey and not a destination. Medical school can be a challenging part of this journey and it is important for students to develop good habits to prepare for a career in medicine and a full life outside of work.
The goal of Pritzker Wellness is to promote and celebrate a culture of wellness. We aim to help students thrive in medical school and beyond with resources and programming to promote physical, social, mental, emotional and spiritual wellness. We will encourage students to reflect and make conscious choices to prioritize their health, happiness and overall wellbeing.
