Medical Student Membership Workgroup
Since launching its Medical Student membership category in 2012, the AUA has seen extensive growth in this unique membership segment and now boasts more than 2,000 medical student members worldwide. In Fall 2023, the AUA Section Secretaries Membership Council (SSMC), approved the formation of a Medical Student Membership Workgroup to help the AUA better understand and meet the needs of medical students looking to pursue a career in urology.
The membership of the Medical Student Membership Workgroup includes eight voting medical student members, representing the geographic boundaries of the eight AUA Sections, as well as representatives from the Latino Medical Student Association, R. Frank Jones Urological Society, The Society of Women in Urology and Urology Unbound. In addition, the Committee includes physician liaisons from the AUA Health Advancement & Impact Committee, AUA Medical Student Education Committee, AUA Residents and Fellows Committee and the Society for Academic Urologists.
Workgroup Mission:
The Medical Student Membership Workgroup will foster and grow a strong network of engaged medical students that can facilitate AUA’s understanding of medical student needs. It will also aim to expand AUA’s reach and influence among medical students while supporting efforts to engage medical students from all demographic backgrounds in the field of urology.
