Pre-Medical Student Council

The UFL Pre-Medical Student Council was established to enhance and simplify the pre-medical student experience at the University of Florida. By uniting pre-medical student organizations across campus, we are creating a more inclusive environment to improve health outcomes and health equity. The council provides a centralized location for information to help promote teamwork and build leadership among all undergraduate pre-medical students. 

 

The council members have been working together through the summer to create safe, consistent messaging for the pre-health and pre-med undergraduate community at UF. We look forward to collaborating with each other for community service, philanthropy, and professional development opportunities this semester. We are very excited to begin our recruitment processes and announce our upcoming meetings! We hope to help you find and join the student organization(s) that best align with your future goals.

 

In addition, the Council is looking to include all of UF pre-medical organizations to expand our community of collaborative pre-medical students. We meet monthly to keep each other updated on the inner-workings of each organization to maintain our sense of camaraderie. We also plan partnerships between organizations for general body meetings, socials, workshops, and more!
