About Us
The Emerging Leaders Council (ELC) of PSR is a new initiative designed to unite students and early-career health activists in advocating for issues critical to patients and communities. The ELC will be open to students, trainees, and those in their first 5 years of practice in medicine, nursing, public health, and other allied professions.
Why join? Membership in the ELC is free, and will allow you to take part in ELC activities that are tailored to meet the needs and interests of busy young professionals:
- Networking and mentorship opportunities with other activists, PSR chapters, PSR board members
