P&S student wellness committee

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 is composed of three elected representatives from each P&S class — one male student, one female student, and one MD/PhD student.  The Committee is advised by the Director of the Center for Student Wellness. 

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.
