How are OSR reps selected by medical schools?
The AAMC does not dictate the selection process employed by schools, but offers the following recommendations as guidelines: • The selection process should facilitate representative input from the entire student body or the student government; individuals involved in the selection process should understand the structure and function of the OSR. • Three alternate OSR representatives should be selected, preferably from different classes, to assist the primary representative. This assures continuity in representation at the school level and provides alternates to carry out the responsibilities of the OSR Primary Representative, if necessary.
