Faced with financial hardships, multiple demands on their time and uncertain career prospects, some graduate students are losing faith in their chosen career path.
Mental health disorders are becoming increasingly common among undergraduate students, and premedical students may be especially vulnerable to those conditions because of the high levels of competition and stress they experience in their college programs. At least a quarter of premedical students experience mental health conditions that may be relevant to discuss when they are applying for medical school. However, there has been little research on whether revealing those mental health conditions on their medical school applications impacts students’ chances of being accepted.
Science and engineering disciplines have been considered unwelcoming spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals and LGBTQ+ students are less likely to persist in STEM majors compared to their straight and cis peers. This talk will discuss how we can work to create more inclusive academic environments for LGBTQ+ individuals by sharing the results of multiple studies. The first explores the challenges for LGBTQ+ students in college courses and highlights these students’ need for LGBTQ+ role models in the classroom.
