Mission StatementBU MEDS is an organization striving to promote academics, spiritual growth and knowledge of medical humanities, ethics, and service for the

premed/health students at Baylor.

BU MEDS: Who We AreI will respect the privacy of my patients for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks.

But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and

awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.

I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligation to all my fellow human beings, those sound

of mind and body as well as the infirm.

BU MEDS: Membership Requirements Service will be handled on a point system. Each meeting,

event, service opportunity, and guest lecture will factor into an overall point total. 

A total of 100 points are needed to earn membership. Speaker and Discussion meetings are worth 10 points, meaning 60 points can come from basic attendance. Other lectures and service events will be between 5 and 10 pts. We believe this system will allow our members to participate more fully within their own schedule.

Submission of an article to the journal will be worth 10 points and if that article is selected an additional 10 pts. will be rewarded
