Student members of the ISMS have a unique opportunity to actively participate in the deliberations and activities that influence policy impacting the medical profession.
The Illinois State Medical Society encourages student members to serve on each of its key councils. Students serving on these councils are considered regular members, with considerable input into policy and program deliberations and full voting rights.
These appointments then take effect for a one-year term beginning in June of each year. Applications received now are being considered for appointment beginning June 2020. The deadline for receipt of applications is Friday, May 15, 2020.
A brief description of each council is provided
here. All applicants will be notified of appointment once they are finalized in the beginning of June.
If you have any questions, please contact Evan Rotert at
