MSS receives a portion of the student activity fee paid to the university by medical students so that it can distribute money to medical student organizations for lunch time talks, community service events, and special events.
We are happy to fund more common events like lunch time talks as they are a valuable resource for students, but we also encourage collaboration between groups and creative use of student activity funds. For events related to a particular interest group or specialty, we encourage you to seek funds from departments within the medical school (Dermatology, Pediatrics, OB/GYN, etc). For larger events and activities involving students from other schools, we encourage you to seek funds from other bodies within the University, including the Allied Health Council and the Graduate Student Government Association (GSGA).
