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 Excellence 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 for URM students, groups focusing on religious affiliation, groups dedicated to specific ongoing service projects, medical specialty interest groups, and groups dedicated to hobbies and activities.
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.
Academic Nursing
We have several groups available for our CRNA and DNP students, including:
- Student Professional Awareness Committee
- Wellness Committee
- Diversity and Inclusion
PA Studies
Our Physician Assistant students can participate in the Katherine Anderson Society, an active group that provides opportunities for our students, and benefits for our community.
