Leadership and Involvement

Student involvement enhances the overall medical school experience by allowing students to pursue their interests in interest groups geared toward specific specialties/residencies, non-residency interest groups, class officers, and Student Council (StuCo).

Student Involvement at the College of Medicine

Medical Student Council

The College of Medicine Student Council (StuCo for short) is a self-governing body that represents the medical students. StuCo meets monthly to address needs and issues, coordinate the community outreach program, plan social activities, and manage the student fee budget.

Interest Groups

StuCo offers both Residency and Non-Residency Interest Groups. Each residency specialty has a Residency Interest Group where they host meetings that explore possible career paths, bring in guest speakers and offer Post-Match advice for other rising classes beginning the Matching process. Non-Residency Interest Groups host meetings that enhance the student experience whether it's philanthropic work, volunteering or joining together with students of similar identities.

Class Officers

Class Officers serve as a liaison between the College of Medicine staff, the HSC Student Government Association and their class. Officers host social events, plan Match Day and find opportunities for their class to participate in community service.
