Start a Future Physician Society Chapter at Your School
Bring physician-led medical education to your school—and build a community of students who want to explore medicine with you.
Bring Medicine to Your School
Interested in becoming a physician?
Chances are, there are other students at your school who are too.
Starting a Future Physician Society chapter gives you and your classmates a way to explore medicine together while gaining access to year-round physician-led education through Docera.
Whether your school already has a HOSA, pre-health, science, or STEM club—or doesn't have a dedicated organization for aspiring physicians at all—FPS can help bring meaningful medical learning directly to your school community.
Lead FPS at Your School
Students who establish a new Future Physician Society chapter can serve as their school's Founding Chapter Lead.
As a Founding Chapter Lead, you'll help introduce FPS to your school, build a community of students interested in medicine, communicate opportunities to members, and serve as the student point person for your chapter.
It's a chance to take on a meaningful leadership role while creating a new opportunity for other aspiring physicians at your school.

Already Have a HOSA or Pre-Health Club?
Perfect. You don't have to replace it!
Future Physician Society can complement your school's existing HOSA, pre-health, science, or STEM organization by adding year-round physician-led clinical education and mentorship.
Your school can bring FPS memberships to interested members while keeping the club and community you've already built.
How It Works
1. Tell us you're interested
Complete our short chapter interest form and tell us a little about yourself and your school.
2. Find a Faculty Advisor
Most schools require student organizations to have a teacher, counselor, or other faculty member who serves as an advisor.
Don't worry if you haven't found one yet—we can help you explain FPS to a potential advisor.
3. Introduce FPS to Your School
We'll provide information you can share with your faculty advisor or school administration explaining what FPS is, what students receive, and how school enrollment works.
4. Build your Chapter
Find other students at your school who are interested in medicine and want to participate.
5. Start Learning Medicine!
Once your school's participation is established, your members can begin accessing Future Physician Society programming and joining aspiring physicians from across the country.
What Does a Founding Chapter Lead Do?
