PSOM’s Medical Student Government (MSG) is seeking two Faculty Advisors for four-year terms beginning Spring 2024. The role of Faculty Advisor is a volunteer service appointment.

MSG is the governing body of PSOM’s medical students and works closely with students, the Undergraduate Medical Education Leadership Team (UMELT), PSOM faculty, and the University.

MSG Faculty Advisors fill an incredibly important role as sounding boards, mentors, and student advocates. In addition, Faculty Advisors contribute to the vital role of institutional memory and longevity of PSOM’s student leadership. Faculty Advisors will work closely with the MSG Executive Board (a team of 5-7 students elected by the student body) and the MSG Leadership Team (elected representatives of each class and cultural affinity groups). We are especially interested in creative, diverse, and inclusive leadership.

The faculty advisor role is open to all interested PSOM faculty the selected applicants will be expected to attend UMELT and student leadership meetings averaging 1-2 per month. Faculty advisors should also be present for discussions leading to major MSG decisions and will have access to all relevant MSG documents and resources.

To apply, please email Carrie Renner, Director of Student Affairs, with a statement of interest including a description of values on leadership and mentorship. Please include a copy of your current CV, highlighting your medical education/mentorship experience.

The deadline to apply is Feb 15.

Interviews will be conducted by the MSG Executive Board and MSG Faculty Advisor, Dr. Anna Weiss.

We are proud of our student government’s accomplishments and growth in the past several years and look forward to continued success.
