Medical Student Assistance Program
2025-2026
The Medical Student Assistance Program Committee provides medical students with two primary services: wellness support for everyday stressors and recovery assistance for students experiencing impairment due to potential substance use or significant mental health problems. The MSAP Committee will assist, support, and coordinate referrals for students with potential impairment due to mental health and/or substance use challenges but will not diagnose or provide treatment for these conditions.
The voting membership of the MSAP Committee shall be composed of seven (7) members, all of whom are appointed by the executive dean: at least one member from the clinical departments; at least one member from the non-clinical departments; at least one administrative staff member; and at least one member per campus site. The term limit and term length do not apply to this committee; committee members negotiate term length and renewal with their supervisors/department chairs, in conjunction with the MSAP chair and executive dean.
