The Medical Student Council
The MSC is composed of elected students from all four years. It is an organization that aims to positively influence student life and facilitate bidirectional communication between the student body and the faculty/administration. The MSC meets on the second Tuesday of every month, and all students are welcome to attend these meetings to share ideas, opinions or concerns.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the 2016-17 MSC President (Sam Jackson) at SBjackson@mednet.ucla.edu.
