Create and maintain a plan for your academic success.

Graduate school can be tough, and being a clinician can bring new and unexpected challenges. Create a pathway and plan for academic success by building good habits, utilizing our academic resources, approaching learning with curiosity and accepting challenges as they arise. Cultivate a mindset of lifelong learning as you begin your career!

At UMass Chan, we believe that academic wellness derives from a supportive learning environment that provides students with knowledge and skills while maintaining their sense of empathy, joy, and purpose. Academic wellness can be experienced as a balance between feeling challenged, excited, motivated and curious.

Nurture your academic well-being by visiting our Center for Academic Achievement, and utilizing tutoring resources and study groups.

Hallway Expressions:
Hola! Marhaba! Xin chà€o! Want to learn how to communicate with patients in their native language? Hallway Expressions is a resource to demonstrate compassion and empathy for patients with limited English proficiency. Our goal is to create opportunities for students and providers to make direct connections with patients and to break down language barriers in small but meaningful ways. The language learning tool features the five most common non-English languages spoken by patients in the UMass system.
