Student Leadership

The student leadership at UMSOM consists of a Student Council as well as representation for each class through the Student Government.  Student leaders play an important role in the UMSOM Community. Specifically, Student Leadership has a critical role in creating class unity and community among all students. Participating as a leader is a great way to get to know classmates and faculty, and is likely to have a significant impact on the leader and their medical education.  

Student Government Association

The Student Government Association (SGA) consists of leaders from each class making up the Class SGA. Each Class SGA includes five primary roles: two Co-Presidents, as well as a Treasurer, a Secretary, and an Historian. In addition to these five positions, each class has two Curriculum Coordinating Committee (CCC) representatives, two University Student Government Association (UGSA) representatives, two Wellness Committee representatives, two Medical Education Continuous Quality Improvement (MECQI) representatives, and two Judicial Board members. The Student Government represents each class to the school and the administration and serves an important role in class communications. Depending on the role, responsibilities may include organizing class fundraisers, planning events, and holding seats on various medical school committees.
