Catholic Medical Student Association
The Catholic Medical Students' Association is an organization seeking to
promote spiritual and moral values, foster the development of spiritual
life and worship, and provide an opportunity for medical students to
congregate and share their experiences. The organization is interested
in integrating medical education with faith and ethics. We encourage all
of our members to follow the precepts of the Hippocratic Oath, as well
as the USCCB Ethical & Religious Directives. Whether practicing medicine
in a Catholic or secular institution, it is necessary to keep these
precepts in mind. Finally, members of the Catholic Medical Students'
Association work to exemplify the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy,
especially caring for the sick, the poor, and most vulnerable members of
our community. The organization is affiliated with, and supported by,
the John Paul II Newman Center, the Catholic Physicians Guild of
Chicago, and the Archdiocese of Chicago.
