Get involved
Three ways in.
Free. No application. Open to any medical student interested in PM&R — in Pennsylvania or beyond.
1
Get on the list
The monthly newsletter has every event, deadline, and opportunity we find.
2
Show up
Hop in the GroupMe, then come to a didactic, a workshop, or a volunteer day.
3
Lead something
Apply each spring to join one of our 9 committees — a real leadership role you can talk about in interviews.
School ambassadors
Bring it to your campus.
Ambassadors make sure their classmates hear about every event. We don’t have one yet at Geisinger, Penn State, Penn, or LECOM — if that’s you, we’d love to talk.

Good to know
Questions people ask.
Who can join?
Any medical student interested in PM&R — in Pennsylvania or anywhere else. There’s no application and no fee for the general community.
Do I need to be sure I want PM&R?
Not at all. Plenty of members are just curious. Students at every stage are welcome, from M1s to people building a rank list.
I’m not in Pennsylvania. Does that matter?
Most of our programming is virtual, and several committee roles are open to students anywhere. In-person events and adaptive sports outings happen in Pennsylvania.
How do leadership terms work?
Executive board and committee lead applications open each spring. Terms run twelve months, starting May 1. Executive board applicants also interview with the outgoing board.
