Galens Medical Society, founded in 1914, is the largest and oldest student group at the University of Michigan Medical School, and is comprised of about 120 medical students and 13 faculty Honoraries. The organization raises >$80,000 in its annual Tag Days fundraiser, and distributes this money to organizations within Mott hospital and to charities that benefit the children of Washtenaw County. Galens members take an active role in volunteerism, and interact socially with faculty through activities such as the Smoker, Welcome BBQ, tailgate, and the year-end banquet. The Galens Loan Fund helps defray the cost of residency interviewing at subsidized interest rates. Additionally, students continue to recognize and award teaching and leadership excellence among Medical School basic science and clinical faculty, as well as house officers.The traditions of community service, extracurricular socialization, faculty cooperation and recognition, and student advocacy have remained central objectives throughout the organization's long history. The success and duration of the organization is attributable not only to the commitment, passion, and charity of its students, but also to that of its alumni and honorary faculty members, who over the years have dutifully served as advisors, mentors, and advocates.
