Medical Student Interest Group
The Student Interest Group is open to all students, who desire to learn how cutting edge radiation-modalities are used to treat patients.
The Radiation Medicine Student Interest Group (RMSIG) is organized by students and faculty to provide information about the field of radiation medicine. The specific aims of RMSIG include, providing early and intimate exposure to this rapidly developing field within medicine, providing opportunities for student research, and developing strong mentorship from practicing doctors.
RMSIG is for High School Students, Undergraduate Students, and Graduate Students.
