The Student Advisory Board (SAB) consists of six students. It meets regularly with Professors Boyd and Tuchman to discuss the MHS curriculum, programming, and extra-curricular opportunities. SAB members serve, as well, as a student-centered resource for MHS majors. You’ll find SABs at New Major Information Sessions and undergraduate “Major Fairs”; SABs propose faculty-student discussion groups on topics of interest to MHS studies; and they network with other student groups on campus whose work focuses on medicine in its social context.
This is a GREAT opportunity to work closely with a number of MHS professors and to explore the many different dimensions of the MHS major. Applications for the 2009-2010 will be available early next spring. If you're interesting in contributing to the board, be sure to apply next year!!!
