Medical school student organizations are key to your personal, professional, and career development.

You have the opportunity to participate in and lead student chapters of national medical associations as well as organizations/clubs related to various medical specialties, interprofessional health activities, community service experiences, and a variety of special interests.

In addition to organizations, you have the opportunity to apply to serve on College and campus-wide committees with faculty, staff and community members.
