RIG Application Review & Next Steps
Thank you for submitting your RIG application. It will be reviewed by the Medical Student & Resident Committee. Please allow 5–7 business days for a decision.
If Approved:
Upon approval, you’ll be asked to schedule your initial RIG meeting within six weeks.
What Is the Initial Meeting?
The initial meeting is meant for the Student Champion, the Resident Champion, and the Faculty Anchor to schedule as an introductory to the audience of others in your region of whom you would like to invite to join your RIG. It is a “kick start,” of sorts, to explain what a RIG is and what your particular RIG’s goals are. Please also discuss with your group your regular meeting cadence. The expectation for each RIG is to meet at least once per quarter, if not more frequently. A decision on your meeting frequency should be made during your initial meeting and communicated with the SMSNA Executive Office. If you have any questions about your initial meeting, please reach out to the SMSNA Executive Office at info@smsna.org.
