Join the EQI Strategic Planning Committee
The Educational Quality Improvement Strategic Planning (EQISP) Committee is recruiting two first-year students to serve as members of the committee.
The EQISP Committee is charged with ensuring that UWSOM meets its educational goals for medical student programs and achieves excellence and innovation in our learning programs. This translates to tracking metrics to meet our strategic plan goals, and monitoring accreditation standards and areas in need of improvement, providing guidance and recommendations to school leadership on improvements to our programs.
Service on the EQISP Committee requires a commitment to the advancement of medical education and an interest in and commitment to continuous quality improvement. This is an excellent opportunity to have a voice and make an impact in the school.

This advice is for all MS1 students and includes first generation and BIPOC student lenses.
Now that you’re getting used to medical school, use your AAMC account to take this fun assessment to see what specialties might fit you well. You can use these results to help guide your Triple I summer research and shadowing experiences. If you enjoy this one, the AAMC has other assessments (specialties-based on values, personality, skills) that you can take here.
