In-Person Orientation for Students in:

During the in-person session, you will have the opportunity to engage with fellow Cardinals, connect with your academic faculty, and explore the resources MCPHS offers to enhance your educational experience.
Your academic department may also reach out with additional dates and times for program-specific orientation sessions.
We strongly encourage all new students to attend their assigned Spring New Student Orientation day. It’s a valuable opportunity to get settled, informed, and excited for what’s ahead!
