Medical students explore career paths at mixer

Medical students participate in speed-interview-style rotations with physicians at the MAA Student Career Exploration Mixer.

The USA Medical Alumni Association hosted more than 45 Whiddon College of Medicine students and 24 physicians, representing 18 unique specialties, at the MAA Student Career Exploration Mixer. The event, held for the first time since 2019, took place Tuesday, April 2, at the Strada Patient Care Center.

The mixer provided a valuable opportunity for Whiddon College of Medicine students to engage with medical alumni and area physicians, explore different career paths in medicine, and build meaningful connections. The evening featured speed-interview-style rotations as medical students visited physician tables representing a variety of medical specialties, as requested by the students. 

Physicians who are interested in representing a specialty at the next mixer may email medalum@southalabama.edu.
