Dedication and discipline are essential traits for medical students, but all work and no play can make Drs. Jack and Jane dull physicians indeed. Within the medical school, more than 30 student organizations offer plenty of opportunities for sports, socialization, service and special interests, and the university features even more groups and activities for you to enjoy.

These groups illustrate something that current students and alumni consider one of the most unique and positive aspects of attending Boonshoft School of Medicine: being part of such a strong, supportive community. From day one, you’ll discover an atmosphere of cooperation and encouragement among students, faculty and staff. We’re all here because we love what we’re doing. If you’re looking for a world-class medical education to prepare you for a successful career — but without the stress, sabotage and cutthroat competition — there is definitely a place for you here.
