2009 OSR Elections

Elections for 2009-2010 OSR Administrative Board National Positions

Administrative Board - The OSR Administrative Board is comprised of 12 Primary Institutional OSR Representatives. The OSR Chair's position is a three-year commitment (Chair-Elect, Chair, Immediate Past Chair) to ensure continuity and long-range planning. The other members of the Ad Board include four regional chairs (elected at the spring meetings) and five national delegates. All of the positions on the Ad Board are time consuming and require a tremendous amount of dedication and hard work. These positions are opportunities to work with other leaders on a national level to address the concerns and issues of all medical students.
