Join an Existing Chapter
If you are a student who wants to get involved in GlobeMed, see if your campus has an existing GlobeMed team and contact the leaders to become a member.
Start a New Chapter
GlobeMed's existing chapter network is at the heart of our organization and we aim to develop and sustain high quality, high impact programs. Thus, starting a chapter is a selective process in order to ensure our drive towards a standard of excellence. Our chapters are all led and driven by undergraduate students.
The application cycle to launch a Chapter for the Fall of 2009 will begin in April of 2009. Applications are due April 1, 2009. If you are interested in founding a chapter, please fill out this brief form in order to recieve application instructions and materials. Anyone looking to start a new chapter must go through the formal GlobeMed application process to receive formal recognition and central support.
