"One of the best features of the institutional membership for us here at Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine and Geisinger College of Health Sciences is the very reasonably priced student memberships. We have offered this membership opportunity to our student the past two years. Our students are very appreciative of the ability to participate in the Academy. They tell us that membership provides them with resources and opportunities to reflect on the many professional skills required to be a health care provider in today’s world. Our students have also found professional development activities such as publication in the monthly newsletter or presentations at the annual conferences."
