LCME Student Member Nominations (Academic Year 2025-26)

Overview

The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) is accepting nominations for student members for the 2025-2026 academic year.  One student will be selected through a process by the American Medical Association (AMA) and one through a process by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC).  Deans of LCME-accredited medical education programs can nominate a student for one of the open positions by following nomination requirements and instructions outlined below. Please nominate a student for only one of these positions, based on your assessment of the nominee’s fit with the respective requirements.

Student members of the LCME participate fully in LCME activities, including serving on one survey team during the year, and have full voting privileges. The selected students will begin their official term of service on July 1, 2025. Selected students are invited to attend the June 2025 LCME meeting in Chicago, IL as an orientation. All expenses for student member participation in LCME activities are covered by the LCME.
