Any new student organization seeking affiliation with UCF College of Medicine will be able to submit the New Student Organization Approval Form along with a draft of the proposed constitution.

The purpose of the College of Medicine M.D. Program Student Council is to provide effective student leadership for the classes and organizations of the College of Medicine M.D. Program, serve as a liaison between students and administration, promote effective and well-rounded medical education, and represent the College of Medicine M.D. Program. More information is provided during new student orientation.

The M.D. Student Council, working with the Office of Student Affairs, has completed the process for approving medical student organizations within the College of Medicine.

Any organization seeking affiliation with UCF College of Medicine will need to submit the New Student Organization Approval Form and draft of the proposed constitution.

With majority approval from the members of Student Council and Office of Student Affairs, organizations will be granted a status as a Recognized Student Organization (RSO) of the UCF College of Medicine and will also become eligible to receive funding from UCF COM Student Council funds (note: this is different than becoming a Registered Student Organization through the main campus Office of Student Involvement).

Submission of the New Organization Approval Form must be accompanied by a draft of the constitution for the proposed organization. New organization proposals that are too similar in mission or goals to a current active group will often be denied. Please check the most current organization directory (listed the Student Organization heading on this page) prior to completing the new organization approval form.

If you have an idea for a group similar to one that is currently active, you may inquire with the group on joining and creating a subsection of the main organization.

While student organizations and extra-curricular activities are always encouraged, organizations must inform the Office of Student Affairs of meetings and activities, which take on campus at the College of Medicine.

To reserve a room or space (i.e. Tavistock Green, COM atrium or piazza) for your student organization, please complete the Room Reservation Request survey here. First check the webcourses Student Lounge calendar where all student organization meetings are listed after they are confirmed to ensure your meeting will not conflict with an already existing meeting. Please submit your reservation request at least a week in advance of your event to ensure availability and enough scheduling time. Once your room is confirmed you will receive an email with the reservation details & confirmation.

Posters

The UCF College of Medicine’s Educational Technology department (comedtech@ucf.edu) offers free printing of posters for faculty, staff and students that promote UCF and the college.

The college has created several templates to be used for all poster presentations in accordance with new university-wide brand standards that reflect a modern, cohesive look for all materials that reflect the university. The purpose of these templates is to create professional posters that reflect the UCF brand and provide a consistent look.  Additionally, the template should facilitate your efforts in creating posters.

The templates provide a choice of either a black or yellow banner for your poster (links below) as well as the university-approved font – Gotham.  Since there is a fee associated with installing this font on your computer, please use another font and Ed Tech will change the font for you prior to printing.

Poster templates can be found here:

• 35×42 Template (Vertical)
• 36×48 Template (Horizontal)

We don’t want to restrict creativity, so feel free to design the body of your poster any way you feel appropriate, but we will enforce the following standards for the banner

• Must be either black or yellow background
• Must include the approved COM logo
• Title of poster must be either yellow or black

Powerpoints

These PowerPoint templates contain multiple slide designs and photo options you may use for your own presentations. We’ve included a 4:3 presentation format and a 16:9 format.

These templates are set up with the font Helvetica. Arial may be used as a substitute font. If you have the font Gotham installed on your computer, please feel free to convert all text to that font. (Note: If you are sharing your final PowerPoint with other users who do not have Gotham, the document fonts will not display correctly.)
