At UIC College of Medicine, our active and passionate student body defines one of our greatest strengths. We are known for making time in our busy schedules to get involved in student activities that enrich our school and community as well as our own experiences in medical school. Whether it is volunteering at a health fair, lobbying for change, or hosting lunch talks, each of our student organizations highlights the rich diversity that makes up our College of Medicine.
My involvement in the Chicago Medical Student Council (CMSC) over the past three years provided me with an opportunity to work toward improving our medical school experience and served as an outlet to refine my leadership and teamwork skills. We each find our own reasons and motivations for getting involved. For the many of you already involved, thank you for being part of what makes our College of Medicine like no other. For those of you looking to get involved, I challenge you to explore one of the many student organizations we have at UIC and find what makes you tick.
With the demands of medical school, it is a challenge for all of us to find the time to fit in the “extras”. However, a vital part of our journey in becoming physicians is the people we meet and the experiences we have both in and out of the classroom.
Get involved, have fun, and make a difference!
Carrie Nieman
