School of Medicine Columbia

Student Wellness

Pursuing your dream degree is exciting. Every student in the School of Medicine worked hard to earn admission. As you balance the transition academically, we want to help you provide opportunities for a mental break from the academic demands as well as opportunities for introspection growth.

What We Do

We offer quick diversions from the regular academic day including festivals, drum circles, watercolors, yoga, campus walks, and our favorite, therapy dogs. We enjoy some seasonal programs like March Madness competitions, an egg hunt, and a SOM Ping Pong Tournaments. You may also meet the SSWC T-Rex at some of our wellness programs.

Challenge the conventional. Create the exceptional. No Limits.
