Volunteerism

The CMU College of Medicine supports and encourages students enrolled in the M.D. program to become involved in clinically-relevant volunteer activities within the broader community and considers these to be approved curricular activities. Students engaged in such volunteer activities will be protected by Central Michigan University’s liability/medical malpractice insurance, provided that the conditions for the volunteer activities are fulfilled as outlined in the student handbook and the policy titled Liability/malpractice coverage for endorsed volunteer experiences. 

Before participating in volunteer service, students must inform the Office of Student Affairs of their volunteer experiences by completing and submitting the OSA Event Request Form and receiving confirmation of submission from the Office of Student Affairs.
