  • EAD for FAPDD sends letter to all committee chairs requesting approval of student appointees

  • Additional interviews will be conducted by the chairs for Admissions, SPC & TLAC before students are notified of appointment

If selected to a position, I understand that my primary responsibility is to represent my peers as a member of the Indiana University Medical Student Council, which is the voice of the Indiana University School of Medicine student body. I realize that any evaluation of my representation throughout the year would likely be conducted by the IU Medical Student Council on behalf of the students of Indiana University, and not from the faculty or administration.

If selected to a position, I understand that the annual Medical Student Council Leadership Day Conference, which usually occurs in October, is part of my responsibilities to attend.

If selected to a position, I understand that it is a part of my responsibilities to participate as an interviewer in the next annual MSC Interview Day for MSC-appointed, MSE-appointed, and Dean-appointed positions, which occurs each year during the spring semester of my term, unless I am excused by the Medical Student Council Interview Day Coordinators.

By applying for a committee position, I enter into a pledge to uphold the highest standards of student leadership if selected as a representative of the Indiana University Medical Student Council and understand all statements of responsibility as described in this document.
