Medical Student Section

Who we are:

TPS created the MSS in the mid 1990s to provide future pediatricians with an opportunity to grow professionally and help prepare them for their future in pediatrics. This organized membership section helps focus attention on issues unique to pediatrics and to Texas' students and also provides an outlet for students from all over Texas to communicate and network with each other. Annual dues for a student membership are only $15.  If you would like to join TPS as a Medical Student Section member our online membership form click here.
