Office of Student Affairs
The Office of Student Affairs (OSA) at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University (CMSRU) assists students in the extracurricular and curricular aspects of learning both the art and the science of medicine. We enjoy getting to know our medical students and take great pride in fostering a caring and open environment where all feel welcome. From your first day of medical school, our staff is dedicated to helping you successfully complete your journey to becoming an outstanding physician.
A medical school education encompasses so much more than the time one spends in the classroom. We will support your transition from being an undergraduate student or full-time employee, to becoming a medical student, as you balance both your education and personal life. Whether it’s a friendly ear to listen, finding your fit with clubs and organizations, or help with concerns related to a course/clerkship, financial aid, student records, wellness or other issue, the OSA staff is able to assist!
CMSRU welcomes your partnership in building a medical school community that is enriched by diversity and sustained by civility and mutual respect.
