Going to medical school can be a daunting process. Tasks like moving, financial aid and meeting new professors and classmates can seem overwhelming.
Here are seven steps students can take to help students facilitate a smooth transition to medical school, both inside and outside of the classroom.

1. Attend the exit interview with the undergraduate financial aid office: This provides valuable information on how much you owe on college student loans, how to transition your loans to in-school deferment or forbearance.
Getting your financial house in order with respect to your undergraduate loans sets you up for borrowing for medical school. Your medical school financial aid office will be able to help you identify lenders for medical school.
2. Select a living situation: Living close to campus in medical school facilitates quick access to the library, class and resources such as the anatomy lab.
You can also think about who you want to live with, as a roommate who is like-minded can prevent future issues. Living with a professional student from a discipline outside medicine provides some variety of people to meet and potential social outlets. Living with a fellow medical school student creates an atmosphere of shared experiences.
3. Organize your space: Keep rooms free of clutter for ease of study. Organize undergraduate notes and study aids that you found beneficial.
It may also be helpful to keep a photo or copy of your undergraduate degree available to save in a secure file for easy access, as you will need for the licensing and board certification process. Details here: http://www.valuemedic.org/study/studyabroad/
