clubs

Sorry if this is rant-ish, but I'm entering my second year of college this fall, and I'm currently on the E-Board of two legitimate (non-clinical) clubs at my school. I've actually held one of the positions since the start of my freshman year — I had been eyeing the club the summer before school...

Hello! I'm looking for ideas on club fundraising to help pay for our Gala next year. Common ones that clubs at our school do already include clothing sales (lots of them) and some other swag- glasses and water bottles, stethoscope charms/cases, and stickers. Any new/unique ideas out there?

I want to start one next semester and just wanted some advice as far as leadership/ managing events/ juggling it with my studies from anyone who has experience with it or anything similar. I am also becoming an RA as well so I hope that I'm not biting off more than I can chew.

I am interested in starting a new club at my college. However, many clubs are meaningless and are there just to put on applications while they don't do anything. While I am also interested in putting it on my application, I want it to have some purpose. I was thinking about starting a science...

Hey guys, I'm technically a freshman right now, but I got my associate's degree with my high school diploma and instead of completing my bachelor's in two more years, I was planning to spend an extra year to bring up my GPA and polish my resume. When I was working on my Associates at a...

I've heard a wide variety of advice on clubs and just wanted to get my facts straight--any help will be appreciated! Since high school, when I crammed everything for resumes and apps, I've been wanting to devote my time to clubs I actually care about. I know there's no one solution for medical...

Hi guys, I'm at PY1. I'm not sure what organization to join because I don't know what field I want to go into. Leaning toward industry but still want to try hospital and clinical. I'm worried about joining too many clubs and I wont have time to study. I haven't sign up for any organizations...

I want to start a pre dental honor society on campus but we already have a pre dental club. The club is pretty much non existent. There have only been a few meetings this semester and only about 5 people at each meeting. This club could have so much potential but is poorly ran. I have so many...

Clubs at my college are honestly not taken seriously and I worry that my leadership position may be sucking time out of other activities I could be doing such as volunteering, shadowing, and/or research. How much do club leadership positions really matter to adcoms? Some detail: I'm president...

Hi, I'm wondering what to put for the supervisor title if you were on the board for an on-campus club? I was treasurer for a year. Would I put the presidents name as the supervisor? Also, does it look bad if I say that no to the release authorization in that section?

Hello SDN! I'm on my sophomore year and I have the opportunity to be the vice-president in a small honors society called Sigma Zeta (pretty much more STEM majors) or becoming the Public Affairs Liaison for the American Medical Student Association(AMSA). Since I will be becoming the...

I've been in an active leadership position in a club at my university since my freshman year. As a junior this past year I served as President. However, the club over this year has become pretty toxic and I no longer enjoy being a part of it since the other members are constantly stabbing each...

Current med students: 1. How important do you feel club involvement is during med school as it relates to residency down the line? 2. I've been hearing a lot about physician mentors and some schools even assigning mentors. Any med students have experience with this? How did you manage to find...
