Institutional Organization

The four Undergraduate Medical Education offices work collaboratively to successfully steward our medical students from application to graduation.

Institutional Governance & Planning

A number of committees are actively involved in shaping the School of Medicine, particularly the curriculum and other essential aspects of your medical education. The following committees/councils include students in their voting memberships. Students also may be invited to serve on special task forces and temporary committees. If you have an interest or expertise in a particular area, let the OSA staff know so that we may consider you for appointment to one of these temporary committees. As a student you have a voice on many of these committees. Furthermore, you can have an impact through the Student Government System.

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.

The student leadership at UMSOM consists of a Student Council as well as representation for each class through the Student Government Association.
