The Medical Society of Virginia’s (MSV) Medical Student Section (MSS) was established in 1997 to serve as a unified voice for students in state and national affairs. The MSS is represented by a Governing Council (GC), which represents six medical schools in Virginia.
Membership is open to any medical student attending medical school at:
- Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences at ODU
- University of Virginia
- Liberty College of Osteopathic Medicine
- Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine
- Virginia Commonwealth University

The MSV offers students the opportunity to join the AMA and MSV together.
When you join both organizations, the cost of the 4-year membership to the AMA, the MSV and your local chapter is only $100 ($68 AMA dues, $10 chapter dues and $22 MSV dues).
