Social Organizations

Pacemakers

Established in 2011 to provide a positive and beneficial outlet for students of the school while entertaining those attending concerts. A medical school band made up of students who share music!

Purling at Parkland

This is a group for individuals who are interested in craft projects of all types. Members meet weekly to knit, crochet, embroider, cross-stitch, sew, or just enjoy the company. Throughout the year, members are working on personal projects, gifts for family and friends, or gifts for various charities. Currently, the group is making and collecting squares (7x9 inches) for a patchwork afghan to donate to the local shelter (based on Warm up America). All of the members love to teach new comers and we are always recruiting!

Southwestern Life Support

Southwestern Life is a support organization for the spouses, significant others, and families of Southwestern medical students and is sponsored by the Faculty Women’s Auxiliary. The club is an organization that sponsors several social activities throughout the year. Their main objective is to provide the support and camaraderie that can be so beneficial during these medical school years.
