Get Involved. Lead. Serve. Discover.

Student involvement is an important part of the medical school experience. Beyond the curriculum, students have numerous opportunities to engage in leadership, professional development, community service, advocacy, specialty exploration, cultural affinity groups, and wellness activities. Participation in student organizations allows students to build meaningful connections, develop leadership skills, explore career interests, serve others, and contribute to a vibrant campus community.

Whether your interests lie in student governance, medical specialties, research, service, advocacy, or personal enrichment, there is a place for you to get involved.

Below is a listing of the School of Medicine approved organizations and clubs that are active on our campus. If you are interested in creating a new student organization or interest group, please contact LLUSM Student Affairs.
