Three fun and information-filled days help students acclimate to the campus, medical center and to each other to ensure that they hit the ground running when courses begin.

Areas covered in the three day program include:

• How to succeed in the program
• Faculty and staff introductions
• What is expected of you
• Financial Aid
• Support Services
• Professional organizations

In addition, SCNM's admission staff and current students organize local area field trips to provide students with the opportunity to become acquainted with the area and with each other. Students come to Southwest College from all over the world, and this orientation program is a great beginning to a positive learning experience.
