Confidential Career Advising for Medical Students: A Qualitative Study
Findings suggest confidential advising addresses unique student needs that traditional advising may not satisfy. Other medical schools may consider implementing similar confidential advising models to provide support to student decision-making. Future research should examine optimal advisor training, the impact of advisor approach on student outcomes and long-term career satisfaction among users of confidential advising services.
