Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine (NSU MD) 2024–2025 15 The assistant dean of Admissions and Student Affairs, the director of Student Affairs, and faculty advisers are also available for urgent student issues or situations. Contact information for urgent matters is provided to medical students during orientation. Most activities in the OSA function in an “open-door” manner so students may visit the office for help and support from the faculty and staff members without making appointments. However, because the OSA is committed to medical student support and exercises confidentiality, it is strongly recommended that students make appointments in advance to ensure the availability of the specific professional and time to discuss the issue to the student’s satisfaction.
