NYU Grossman School of Medicine's Student Council hosts more than 60 organizations for medical students, partially funded through student fees. Student organizations provide opportunities to mentor or network with other students, delve deeper into clinical studies, discuss and influence healthcare policy, and just have fun.

Students can find clubs and activities in many areas of interest, including athletics, community service, medical education, social activities, diversity, and student life. Our Office of Student Affairs works with the Student Council and club leaders to develop club policies, track club activity, and plan programs. See a list of clubs and activities on NYU Engage (Kerberos ID and login required).
