Mission Statement
The Psychiatry Student Interest
Group Network is a working group to foster the involvement, organization, and
implementation of student psychiatry interest groups at individual medical
schools throughout North America. The group functions as a central hub for the
exchange of ideas, information, and resources for student coalitions in
psychiatry. It also promotes the discourse for psychiatric education in the
medical school community and for advocacy and justice in mental health as an
integral part of health overall.
