Sound Ethics: IUSM Student Group
Featured on Indianapolis Public Radio

On May 4, 2008, Carrie Rouse, a second year student at Indiana University School of Medicine, was the featured guest on Indiana University School of Medicine's radio program, Sound Medicine, which airs weekly on the local public radio station, 90.1 FM, WFYI.  She was on the program to represent the views and ideas of a Medical Student Council recognized Student Interest Group, Universities Allied for Essential Medicines.

For those who weren't fortunate enough to hear the interview live, it can be accessed in RealPlayer format here.  Unfortunately the MP3 version is not working at the moment.  The full article about her interview on Sound Medicine can be found here.

Staying involved in local, regional, state, and even the global community is an almost universal expectation of leaders in the medical profession, from nurses and physicians to dentists and doctors of physical therapy.  The large number of community-oriented MSC-sponsored Student Interest Groups at IUSM provide a wealth of opportunities for student involvement while in medical school.  For those students with ideas that are incompatible with the mission statements of pre-existing Student Interest Groups, the opportunity to begin one's own Student Interest Group is always available.

As Carrie's interview demonstrates, our local community is both interested in and supportive of all of our Student Interest Groups' efforts to advance the mission of the School of Medicine through professional development and local, regional, and global community involvement.
