  • Student services
  • Experiences of negative behaviors
  • Financial aid and indebtedness
  • Career intentions 
  • Strengths of the medical school and areas that need improvement

The GQ has been approved by the American Institutes for Research Institutional Review Board and endorsed by the chair of the AAMC Organization of Student Representatives.
