Student Societies
Student participation in societies is voluntary, and all undergraduate students in the UTMB School of Medicine are invited to participate. It is the hope that the availability of strong mentors will attract student participation and provide the opportunity for students to experience professional and personal growth through their encounters with their Society mentors.
The vision of the Osler Student Societies is to provide developing physicians insight into "A Way of Life", described by Sir William Osler, not through formal lecture, but through the guidance of mentors in contact with students within and outside their academic setting.
The eight student societies are each led by faculty mentors, including faculty Osler scholars.
The goals of the Student Societies are:
To enhance Faculty-Student interaction, To enhance mentoring and advising of students by faculty, To promote professionalism and humanism, To promote community service, and To promote the development of mentoring skills and comradarie among students
The Student Societies are:
