Our Mission
This club aims to help in refining your medical interests through exposure to a variety of specialties represented by our event speakers. Additionally, the wide range of clinical skills practiced throughout the course of your participation in SSM Club will be of great help during rotations, no matter what the area of medicine, as these skills are not taught in class during the first two years of medical school.
