Organization of Student Representatives

The OSR is the student branch of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and is charged with the representation of undergraduate medical student body of the U.S. to the academic medicine community. The concerns of the OSR lie exclusively within academic medicine and medical education. Each of the LCME accredited medical schools have students who serve as the OSR representative for their schools. As an OSR representative, you must communicate the opinions of your student body to the national officers so that the OSR can effectively represent medical students on a national level. In addition, you can take OSR national priorities and objectives from your colleagues at the national level and implement them at your school. At PLFSOM, the role of OSR representative is chosen through an essay and interview process of members of the Student Curriculum Committee and is selected by the Office of Student Affairs in conjunction with current OSR students.
