Each month, the OSU COM admissions office hosts an open Q&A session (kind of like office hours) for those who are applying or interested in applying to the MD program. These hour-long, virtual sessions don’t have a formal presentation – they are designed to allow candidates to pop in and out to get any questions they have answered.
View the upcoming dates and sign up to attend!
You will be contacted within one week of the Q&A session with instructions to join the Zoom meeting.
4:00-5:30PM
Page Hall, RM 240A
This Professional Training is meant to guide students through what it's like to attend and be successful at a networking event. How can students prepare themselves for a less structured networking event and put their best foot forward. Sarah Shumick of Battelle will lead this workshop so students can know what to expect and can walk into networking events more prepared and confident.
Food Provided! RSVP Today!

Dr. Jessica Turner and Dr. Melanie Bozzay are faculty in the Department of Psychiatry at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. We are currently hiring several paid, full-time research assistant (RA) positions for an exciting new NIMH-funded project seeking to develop computational strategies to identify who is at risk for making a suicide attempt, and when, several days before an attempt occurs.
The position itself is great for new graduates (or soon to be new graduates) who are interested in pursuing graduate training in the field of Psychology or in mental health care more broadly. RAs will be trained to complete data collection processes with individuals representing a wide range of backgrounds and diagnostic presentations. Patients will be recruited nationwide and also from specialized psychiatric clinics. RAs will be trained in risk assessment procedures and collection of real-world experience data using ecological momentary assessment procedures. They will also be trained to administer structured cognitive assessments and will learn the rigorous procedures needed to oversee NIMH-funded studies. There are also opportunities for RAs to develop research projects that can result in conference presentations and potentially publications. Dr. Turner and I also have a strong track record of helping prior RAs obtain admission into highly competitive Ph.D. programs.
We are interviewing for the position over the next several weeks and looking to hire ASAP! Any questions can be directed to Prateek Palsule, our project manager (Prateek.palsule@osumc.edu).

The Student Wellness Center will begin our Autumn 2025 Coaching Services on Tuesday September 2nd! We know the semester can present a number of challenges for students and our services are designed to support student success. As a reminder, we house 4 peer coaching programs each with a different goal:
- Scarlet and Gray Financial Coaching - For students looking for support on financial education and behaviors. Common topics include budgeting, baking, credit and credit cards, saving for purchases and emergencies, investing and retirement, and financial insecurity.
- Nutrition Coaching - Helps students explore their eating habits, find balance, and meet their nutrition needs through personalized education and collaborative goal setting.
- Wellness Coaching - Supports students with identifying opportunities for improving their holistic wellness in all dimensions. Commons areas of support include relationships, academics, stress, transitions, and balance in different settings.
- BASICS/CASICS - These programs are offered for all Ohio State students who may want to explore their alcohol and drug use, but the goal of the program is to reduce risky behaviors and harmful consequences of alcohol or cannabis abuse.
Our services are offered Monday-Friday during SWC business hours - appointments are 45-minutes long and students can see a coach within 48-hours. We are also excited to be sharing space in the Buckeye Commons with opportunities for drop-in coaching - information will be shared soon!
