The Academic Support Team works one-on-one with students to provide academic support, study aids, tips for reading/listening comprehension, and more.
We invite you to meet with one of our three Learning Specialists to maximize your academic experience at UWM’s College of Health Professions & Sciences.
Resources for Students
The UWM Academic Support Team provides individualized support to students in addition to connecting students to other resources on-campus and beyond.
I started meeting with Tamara to study for Pathophysiology exams. In just one session I went from knowing little of nothing to doing well in class and understanding the material. Tamara’s use of real-world examples and analogies made Pathophysiology fun and helped me develop full confidence that I can do well on the exam.
