Counseling Structures
Primary Support: Faculty Mentors and Academic Advisors
- Faculty Mentors: Students are assigned a faculty mentor upon entering the Yonsei University College of Dentistry to provide guidance and counseling on personal issues, academic matters and professional career paths.
- Academic Advisors by Year: The Academic Advisor in charge of each Year is assigned by the dean to help resolve personal problems.
Secondary Support: Faculty Counselors
- Three Faculty Counselors (Prof. Y. J. Yoo, Prof. K.-S. Hu, and Prof. J. Kim) are available for more specialized support. Students may be referred here by themselves, the Dean, Faculty Mentors, or Academic Advisors.
Tertiary Support: Student Mind Care Center
- If the student needs additional counseling or professional help as a result of the counseling with the faculty counselor, they can get help from the Student Mind Care Center through the students’ section of the school office.
