At the Methodist University Cape Fear Valley Health School of Medicine, student organizations are where you’ll connect, lead, and grow outside the classroom. They’re your space to explore interests, build community, and make an impact.

You’ll be able to join or create organizations that match your medical interests, cultural identity, or personal passions. From specialty interest groups to service-learning projects and wellness-focused clubs, student organizations give you the chance to collaborate with peers, engage with faculty and community partners, and strengthen your leadership skills.

We encourage you to take initiative and shape organizations that reflect your values and goals. Whether you’re serving, leading, or building something new, you’ll find a place here to belong and thrive.

Student Experience supports several student-run organizations to enrich the School of Medicine experience. These organizations are established through an approval process and maintained by their dedicated leaders and advisors. All School of Medicine students are welcome to join student groups and participate in their sponsored events.

Please see below for a list of student organizations offered, from special academic interests to co-curricular activities. There are ways for everyone to get involved!
