Academical Societies

All D.O. Students are assigned to one of 10 Academical Societies.  Each society will be composed of approximately 25 students per class, and at least 2 faculty society advisors that act as academic and career advisors.  In order to assure that each society includes a diverse group of students, assignment to societies are done randomly.  Students remain in their designated Academical Society throughout their medical school experience.  This creates a unique sense of community that students experience from their very first day in medical school.  Each society organizes a program of peer advising―the core of creating not only a four-year relationship between students but also between alumni of the society. Student-student and student-faculty interaction is fostered through academic/professional programs and social gatherings.
