The Student Governing Board at Albert Einstein College of Medicine acts as a liaison between the student body and administration to improve our learning environment, promote inclusivity and equity, and prepare students for future careers as physicians by developing communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills. The student governing board is comprised of representatives from the M.D. Student Council and the Graduate Student Council, who work with Einstein’s office of student life and other administrators.
