Anyone know if AZCOM or Western have any kind of spousal groups set up? By support groups I mean official groups that provide information, social gatherings, and help with finding jobs etc for spouses of medical students.
 
I'm pretty sure they might: go here and contact this group to see if there's a SAA chapter at those schools and who to get in contact with.

The SAA is basically the student side of the national org Advocates for the AOA which is a group made up of spouses/sig others. My wife is involved so we've been to a few conferences and it seemed like there were a number of schools who had a group on campus.

Beyond that you could contact the schools and see if they have their own program or group on campus.
