Student Government

The Student Council represents the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, the Master of Genetic Counseling program, the Master of Public Health program, and the Medical Scientist Training Program. Our aim is to improve all aspects of student life. Student Council meets once a month to discuss ideas and promote new projects. Members also meet with the school administration monthly for updates. Student council overseas 120+ student clubs and organizations.

Elections for the Student Council occur twice year. Once in the Spring of each academic year for returning students and once in the fall for new incoming students. Students can serve on the council in a variety of positions including class/program reps (Ex. PhD Year 1 and MD Year 2), steering positions (President, Vice President, Secretaries, Treasurers etc…) and as committee members serving on one of the 10 committees below. The Student Council has an annual budget that it allocates to student groups and itself to host events for the student body throughout the year.

There are many ways to be involved in Student Council, and monthly meetings are open to all students. For more information, email studentc@icahn.mssm.edu
