By being a member of the Specialty Interest Group (SIG), students will have the opportunity to explore their interests without committing to a certain specialty. This umbrella organization oversees subcommittees, each representing different specialties such as the Steven Z. Miller Pediatrics Society and the Ophthalmology Interest Group, and allows students to explore various disciplines as well as encourages them to see how the disciplines interrelate. Additionally, the subcommittees will be fluid by nature and have the ability to be active or inactive depending upon current student interest. Each subcommittee will have to meet four specific criteria:
- Demonstrate broad appeal (membership from each class)
- Have departmental support (financial and/or other)
- Initially approved by the P&S Club officers
- Obtain approval for large event funding from the P&S Club officers
