Welcome to the IYRC Club: Empowering Global Students in Medicine, STEM, and Research
​

The IYRC Club is a pre-professional student organization that aims to create a supportive and inclusive international community for high school students to connect, share ideas, and learn about Medicine, STEM, and Research under the mentorship of Medical Students, Dental Students, and college students at our partner institutions. The club acts as a bridge between the Medicine and Research Summer Program and the Winter STEM Program with Columbia VP&S and Stanford.

​CLUB ACTIVITIES

  • Clinical Cases: Learn from Medical Students and Pre-med students at our partner institutions about disease, public health, and holistic health and wellness.
  • Annual project: Conduct research and community projects individually or as a group. Students are encouraged to submit to the fall or spring IYRC for potential conference presentation.
  • Peer Health Education: Facilitate campus wellness with support from Medical Students, Dental Students, and Pre-med college students. Share a wellness framework implemented by our founder during his years at Harvard.

​RECOMMENDED POSITIONS

  • President: Communicates directly with the IYRC team providing monthly updates on IYRC club activities, leads the IYRC club’s activities in their school, and inspires and motivates the club members
  • Secretary: Keep notes and traction of club activities and plans, and facilitates club organization.
  • Community Chair: IYRC clubs should aim to do a community project of some sort, which could be service-based or education-based (ex. volunteering at a senior center or teaching a health topic to middle schoolers). 
  • Wellness Chair: leads the implementation of IYRC's wellness framework on campus
  • Social Chair: Focuses on the wellness of the group, media presence, and networking opportunities. Takes group photos, plans ice cream socials, recruits members, and organizes virtual 'meet-ups' with other clubs at different school
​*Co-positions are feasible ex. co-presidents​

​BENEFITS

  • Connect with Medical, Dental, and Pre-med students at our partner institutions.
  • Expand your medical knowledge and skills through actionable initiatives.
  • Meet students around the world.
  • Pipeline to ICEP in medical school
  • Potentially win a scholarship of $2,000 for IYRC Club of the Year, annually at the spring conference!

​DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PROGRAMMING

  • Medicine: The summer program focuses on the clinical side of medicine and the winter program focuses on the pre-medical aspects of STEM. While IYRC clubs is not a replacement for these 2 programs, it complements each with the public health and holistic wellness component.
  • Students are encouraged to participate in the 3 different programs (summer, winter, and academic year) to gain exposure to the unique domains and provide a strong foundation for a health or research career.
