Approximately 15% of the rising 4th-year class are selected to membership each year. These student members of the Society are chosen by the selection committee during the Spring semester. The selection committee reviews the results of the medical student peer evaluations administered in the middle of 3rd year, which provide peer assessment of clinical competence, interpersonal skills, humanism, and professionalism. Additional data that may be taken into consideration include clerkship ratings for professionalism and participation in service activities.
