Students

The LAU Gilbert and Rose-Marie Chagoury School of Medicine is home to more than 250 medical students across Med-I through Med-IV. Our student body reflects the diversity of our community, bringing together students from Lebanon, the broader MENA region and North America. Our students also bring diverse academic backgrounds and interests to medicine. While many enter with an undergraduate degrees in biology, and related sciences, others come from fields such as chemistry, bioinformatics, psychology, and the arts. This diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences enriches learning and student life at the School of Medicine.

Student life extends well beyond the classroom. Through student organizations, community outreach, international exchanges, social and wellness activities, and other initiatives, students have opportunities to connect, serve, lead, and develop personally and professionally throughout their medical education.

The School of Medicine is committed to LAU’s principles of student-centeredness and education of the whole person. The Office of Student Affairs supports this mission by providing guidance and support throughout the medical school journey and helping students make the most of their academic and student experience.

The School supports student engagement beyond the classroom through student clubs, community outreach, and a variety of activities throughout the year. Student can become involved in the LAU Medical Students’ Association (MSA) and the Lebanese Medical Students International Committee (LeMSIC), as well as Medics in Sports, and the many student clubs and activities available across LAU.
