Lakeside Medical Society

Our club welcomes all students, whether you're set on becoming a doctor or just considering the idea of it, to further explore the medical field. We split our time between hosting an animated speaker series and club-led medical exploration. Speakers are all PhDs, med school students, or M.Ds (medical doctors), volunteering their time to share their experiences with us. We are incredibly grateful for these opportunities. Fun medical opportunities include learning to suture, phlebotomy, and CPR lessons. 

Currently, Medical Society has over 115 club members. Check out our "Upcoming" page to see how you can join in!
