Before a student group can be officially affiliated with the UW School of Medicine, members are required to apply for recognition as an officially sponsored student group of the University of Washington School of Medicine.

Check the UWSOM 2021 Student Orgs Leadership Directory to see if a group already exists at UWSOM. If it does, contact the leaders to find out how to get involved.

If you are a non-Seattle based student looking to join an existing group, contact the leaders of the group to learn how you can participate from your WWAMI site. If you are a non-Seattle based student and want to form a branch or chapter of an already-existing student organization, contact the leaders of the group to talk about how this structure will work for the particular student organization you are interested in.
