Find your place to thrive — no matter your path or passion.

Our students are at the heart of our community. Here, you’ll have the support of the entire institution — from fellow students to faculty mentors to campus leaders — to help make your dreams a reality. Beyond a drive to move medicine forward, students connect on a wide variety of interests ranging from arts and athletics to advocacy and policy. All groups are open to every student. And if you can’t find what you’re looking for, we’ll help you create it.

Student groups empower you to:

  • Serve the community, including volunteering at community health clinics, mentoring youth and working with the unhoused
  • Explore medical specialties, including shadowing mentors, interacting with senior faculty and participating in departmental functions
  • Develop leadership skills
  • Pursue interests outside of medicine, including dance, martial arts, music, gaming and sports
  • Grow personally and professionally

Making a difference in our community

Beyond student groups and extracurricular activities, our students are committed to building a more equitable community. Local and global partnerships provide invaluable opportunities for personal and professional growth.
