Nominations Process

Each year, School of Medicine alumni have the opportunity to submit a self-nomination to be considered for membership on the Medical Alumni Board. Typically, candidates are active participants in their communities and are engaged in Georgetown University activities. Those submitting a nomination will be considered to begin their first term July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028.

The Medical Alumni Board will vote on the elected slate of nominees during the Spring 2025 meeting. Elected candidates will be notified after that meeting.

Application Process

Nominations for the 2025-2028 term will open on February 24. The application deadline is April 7, 2025.
