The goal of the P&S Student Wellness Committee is to foster the overall well-being of each student at the College of Physicians and Surgeons (P&S). The committee addresses the emotional, physical, academic, and professional concerns of medical students by:
- Representing the wellness concerns of the P&S medical student body within the larger context of the Columbia University system.
- Ensuring that all P&S medical students are properly informed of currently available support services, particularly during anticipated times of stress.
- Continuously evaluating the appropriateness of student support services relative to student needs and effect change when and where it is required.
- The P&S Student Wellness Committee meets once monthly. Between these monthly meetings individual classes/programs meet with the advisor to plan events and discuss specific class/program concerns.
Composition: Director of the Center for Student Wellness, 3 elected students from each year (1 male, 1 female, 1 MD/PhD)
