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 faculty and staff who guide these offices, James Woodruff, MD and Wei Wei Lee, MD, MPH for the Office of Student Affairs and Programs, and Milda Saunders, MD, MPH for the Office of Health Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, are available to our students. Chelsea Dorsey, MD, also assists with academic support and advising. Each faculty member has a unique role in assisting students throughout their time at Pritzker.
These four faculty are all outstanding resources for our medical students. They are part of the network of support provided by the many faculty deans and career advisors at the Pritzker School of Medicine who all serve as informed and effective advocates for students, as do the many University of Chicago faculty members who interact with medical students as teachers, preceptors, research mentors, and specialty advisors. The Office of Student Affairs and Programs supplements the important relationships students develop with the faculty by providing a specific resource dedicated to all aspects of medical student life at the University of Chicago.
