Aid To Medical Students

The Aid to Medical Students Committee is student-run organization committed to promoting student well-being at the UVA SOM. Our three-fold approach to achieving this goal is as follows:

• Community-Building: Throughout the year, we organize events that promote all aspects of student wellness through camaraderie, team-building, and student engagement. Examples of events include the Welcome Picnic, Field Day, Big/Little Sib Trivia, Pumpkin Painting, Holiday Party, & End-of-Year BBQ.
• Peer Advising: We offer confidential peer support and referral to appropriate school and community resources for students with wellness or academic concerns.
• Peer Mentorship: We coordinate Big/Little Sib peer mentorship relationships between M1s and upperclassmen. This is an opt-in program that often leads to generations of “Sib Families.”

We are excited for this year’s UVA SOM College Cup! Please keep an eye out for our events throughout the year and get involved!
