Student Groups
Stanford Medical Students currently participate in almost 40 different student groups. The focus of these groups--from service to specialty interests--are extremely diverse and offer a wide variety of activities for students to engage in outside of the classroom. All groups are eligible to apply for programmatic funding through the annual SMSA student group funding process that occurs in the fall.
If you are interested in starting a new student group, please see Medipedia and then visit the Office of Student Activities (OSA) site for details.
