Center for Holistic Student Success | Emory School of Medicine

triad of mind body spirit makes up holistic well-being

The Center for Holistic Student Success (CHSS) seeks to improve student well-being through offering systems, structures, and supports that optimize the student experience. Our three primary goals over the next three years are to:

Improve access to mental health resources
Improve access to academic support resources
Improve trust and sense of belonging within the School of Medicine

CHSS promotes self-guided learning, healthy coping mechanisms, and normalizing accessing support.

Academic Support

From study strategies to time management issues, the Center for Holistic Student Success can help you discover new methods to improve your learning process. A newly expanded tutor program was also developed to increase access to tutor services for all students. Additionally, CHSS can help you navigate accommodations for both didactic and clinical spaces.

Well-being Support

Holistic well-being is the key to student success. CHSS supports healthy lifestyle choices and works to ensure students have resources to care for their physical well-being. CHSS also provides a safe space to focus on your mental and spiritual health, help you stay grounded in your "why," and connect you with resources across the Emory community.
