The Student Experience
The Student Experience at Tulane Medicine
Outside of the classroom, TUSOM students have an opportunity to become involved in a variety of opportunities and experiences. From a student’s physical and mental well-being to enhancing their academic experience and their career, TUSOM supports their students throughout their medical education journey. These experiences allow students to continue to follow the passions they had before they started medical school and help develop leadership, embrace inclusion, and assist with the development of the competence needed to provide exceptional clinical care and service to the community. Below, we hope to provide a snapshot of the richness of our students' lives and their experiences here at TUSOM.
