The Oncology Student Interest Group (OSIG) affiliated with the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (UWSMPH) aims to expose medical students to the clinical and research fields of oncology. The purpose of this organization is to develop student interest in oncology through education, research, mentorship, and outreach. OSIG intends to foster and promote student involvement through journal clubs and seminars as well as encourage attendance at local and national conferences related to oncology. In order to provide students with learning and shadowing opportunities, OSIG will serve as a resource to bridge students to faculty and staff at UWSMPH and other institutions. In addition to supporting student interest in oncology, OSIG strives to collaborate with other student organizations in community outreach programs related to cancer awareness and prevention. OSIG’s ultimate goal is to cultivate a lifelong scholarship in oncology for the benefit of our patients and society. Check out their Facebook page.
