| The UQ MD Personal Advisor Network (PAN) is an integral part of the [Medical Student Aspirations and Support Strategy 2024-2026](https://medical-school.uq.edu.au/files/52057/A4-MedicalSchoolStudentSupportStrategy-2024-26.pdf) and provides targeted and individualised support for medical students to help foster a spirit of community and connectedness. Each student entering the Doctor of Medicine (MD) program is invited to join the PAN and be assigned a personal advisor, who plays a valuable role in guiding and shaping the experience of medical students.    The personal advisor is a key point of contact and contributes to medical student support by:  - Encouraging an appropriate work-life balance, healthy behaviours and extra-curricular activities - Meeting at regular intervals to “check in” regarding academic progress and wellbeing - Offering positive support and encouragement - Providing guidance on adjusting to life as a medical student, and - Recommending other input or support services should difficulties arise.  The Personal Advisor Rural Network (PARN) is a subset of the PAN. The PARN has been established with the specific purpose of encouraging students with a rural perspective and supporting rural origin students or those interested in pursuing a medical career in rural and remote communities.     Further information for medical students about the PAN is available on the [MD Student Support](https://medical-school.uq.edu.au/current-students/doctor-medicine-students/doctor-medicine-student-support/uq-md-personal-advisor-network) webpage.    Further information for personal advisors, including information on the role and how to sign-up, is available on the [UQ MD Personal Advisor Network](https://medical-school.uq.edu.au/personal-advisor-network) webpage. Testimonials from students and personal advisors *My personal advisor has been such a fantastic bedrock of support this year, and has really helped to put this first year of study into perspective with some fantastic words of wisdom.*   - Year 1 MD student, 2021 |
