School of Medicine Student Organizations and Interest Groups
The School of Medicine seeks to provide students with the opportunities, resources and support necessary to explore and expand their personal and professional interests, build relationships and work with others, develop skills and experiences, grow as individuals, and have fun while at the UW. By promoting civic engagement in the community, creating partnerships, and fostering an environment that values diversity, free expression, and self-directed learning, the Student Organizations and Interest Groups contribute to the holistic development of our students.

Forming an Interest Group or Organization
Before a student group can be officially recognized and use campus facilities, members are required to apply for recognition as an officially sponsored student group of the University of Washington School of Medicine. Please see the document below for more information about forming a new group.
Annual Required Registration
Student Interest Groups and Organizations need to register every year with the University of Washington Student Activities Office. To find times of registrations sessions please see the Student Activities Office website.
Travel Funding
Travel Funding for extracurricular academic programs and presentations is available. Any School of Medicine student in good academic standing as defined by the UWSOM Student Handbook may be eligible for School of Medicine financial assistance of up to $350 towards airfare to attend a conference. Although, recent budget cuts and an increase in the number of students who are applying for student conference financial assistance have created a need to prioritize which requests the School can support financially. The MSA has created an application process for disbursement of School Of Medicine financial assistance related to conference-related travel expenses. Please visit the student travel website for more information:
