Did AI help you write your personal statement or letters?
We've all heard stories of students using AI and ChatGPT to complete their assignments and write full essays. Have you used AI in your job or residency applications, or considered doing so?

The Office of Career and Professional Development seeks your input as we develop resources on how AI can enhance your career development. Your experiences, challenges, and desired resources are invaluable to us as we navigate this exciting new career frontier. Share your insights by completing our anonymous survey!
Want to get your career questions answered in person, all while playing games and winning prizes?
Join us at Career Carnival!

Come visit OCPD's Career Carnival at the Student Food Market every 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month through May. In addition to answering any career and professional development-related questions you may have, we'll have snacks and multiple games where you can be entered into a raffle to win $25 Amazon gift cards. 

You can make an in-person 15-minute career counseling appointment to be seen during the Career Carnival as well. Students can sign up for an appointment up to two weeks in advance here! Pick up groceries, get some career advice, and have fun all in one go. We hope to see you there!!
Don't throw your brain out just yet!

We hope that some of the resources here at OCPD helped you get to this point. Whether it was one-on-one career peer counseling, example CV's and resumes, or tailored interview advice, tell your MS1, MS2, and MS3 peers about the resources that helped you the most.
