Getting involved with student organizations is a great way to network with students with similar interests, gain leadership and teamwork skills, and find volunteer, research, and job opportunities.
The Center for Leadership & Involvement hosts a searchable database of student organizations. A search for keywords like “health” or “medicine” will reveal a number of specialized, healthcare-related organizations. Below is a list of a few of the many pre-health student organizations on campus.
