The SIR MSC is comprised of four committees.
1. The goal of the Education & Research (E&R) committee is to generate educational resources, such as YouTube videos and an online Intro to IR course.
2. The goal of the IR Interest Group (IRIG) committee is to help form new and maintain existing IRIGs across the country. They accomplish this by maintaining a database of IRIGs and contact information, and publishing guidebooks for the IGs. 3. The goal of the Patient & Family Centered Care (PFCC) committee is to generate patient-centered material for the website, such as patient interviews and disease narratives from a patient's prospective.
4. The goal of the PR & Communications (PR&C) committee is to increase medical student awareness of IR and SIR. They accomplish this by publishing a blog, and advertising resources and conferences.
You can see the efforts of our committees on our website:

Please propose new projects or ideas for expanding current projects for at least two of the committees below. Please propose ideas that you could conceivably complete with the resources available to you. Note that a single, thoughtful project idea is better than a large, vague list of ideas. Ideally, your project proposals would be for the committees you were most interested in joining.
