Hello UNC School of Medicine!
As the Student Body Co-Presidents, we would like to welcome everyone to the start of 2024-2025 academic year. This is an exciting time of the year as the new Foundation Phase 1 (MS1) students begin their medical education, Foundation Phase 2 (MS2) students continue to expand their systems-based knowledge and prepare for Step 1, Application Phase students continue to establish themselves in the clinical setting, and Individualization Phase students prepare for residency. Excitingly, Leave-of-Absence students enrich their medical knowledge through research or an additional degree. We love UNC School of Medicine because of the diverse student interests, the commitment of students to local and global service, the activity of our student organizations, and the dedication of our faculty and administration as professional mentors and advocates for our medical education.
The UNC School of Medicine Student Government consists of student officers representing various student interests from all four years and our medical campuses in Chapel Hill, Asheville, Greensboro, Wilmington, Charlotte and Raleigh. Our interests as an organization include improving medical education, creating and ensuring a fun and collaborative learning environment, planning events to celebrate our school, promoting wellness, and many others. We work to serve the educational, social, and personal interests of all medical students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
On our website, you can find our current officers along with a description of their roles and responsibilities. Recurring opportunities within Student Government include Monthly Meetups to informally mingle with faculty, Focus Groups with the Deans over lunch at the Carolina Inn, participating in course focus groups, and attending events like the Medical School Gala and Skit Night. All students, not just Student Government members, are welcome to attend our monthly meetings, and minutes from past meetings are available on this website.
Additional items found on our website include: UNC SOM Student Government constitution, links to our social media pages, student organization forms, past Skit Night videos, and more!
Our goal is to serve YOU and ensure that your experience at UNC School of Medicine is one that you will prepare you for a successful and fulfilling career, all while reflecting fondly on your time here at UNC. Please feel free to email us or any other Student Government officer with questions or concerns you may have.
Let us know how we can best serve you!
