As a Wake Forest University School of Medicine student, you have abundant opportunities to develop your career interests, get involved on campus and form friendships that will last a lifetime.
Student Groups
Student groups are student-led opportunities to get involved on campus. Student Affairs oversees MD-specific groups; the Office of Educational Services oversees all other student groups. Our student groups comprise school of medicine students of any program who have formally organized themselves for the purpose of pursuing a common interest. Student groups range from affinity groups, groups focusing on religious affiliation, groups dedicated to specific ongoing service projects, medical specialty interest groups, and groups dedicated to hobbies and activities. These groups, and activities organized or sponsored by the groups, are open to all school of medicine students.
MD Program
MD students have many opportunities for exploring their career interests, developing leadership skills and socializing with
their peers.
Learning Communities/Houses are a way for students to support and learn from each other during medical school
while also getting academic, career and personal guidance from mentors representing many of the major subspecialties.
