Announcements
NSS Alum Advice Directory
The NSS Alum Advice Directory has been updated by the inclusion of nearly 60 new alums who will be matriculating to medical school this summer and who have agreed to be a source of information for you about the application process and their medical schools. The database, accessible from your Dartmouth Google account, contains names for the past 5 years of med school matriculants. We do ask that you NOT share the names or email addresses of the participants so that the information is restricted to present/past Dartmouth students. You can access the database in the pulldown at the top right of this page.
Pre-Health Course Update
See the updated Fall Term 2025 Pre-Health Course Guide under the NSS Database Drop Down Menu at the top of this page.

Medicine and Justice Scholars Series
Medicine and Justice Scholars Series
A student-led initiative created to bring about awareness and have conversations about racism, gender, sexuality, discrimination in healthcare and health education & medical ethics. Often, these are hard topics to discuss, but it’s important to learn about these realities in order to create a more equitable healthcare community.
Medicine and AI Scholars Series
Medicine and AI Scholars Series
Medicine and AI Scholars is a student-led, interdisciplinary initiative created to spread awareness about the inclusion of artificial intelligence and machine learning in medicine.
