PSN is composed of carefully chosen volunteer medical students referred to as Peer Support Navigators (PSNavs) who are eager to serve their peers.

They are admired as leaders, looked up to as mentors, and most importantly, treasured as good friends, by their classmates. They embody the qualities of empathy, compassion, and dedication, and they have a passion for helping other medical students that are facing oftentimes-unseen dilemmas and challenges during their time in medical school (academic, interpersonal conflicts, mental/physical health, financial, etc). They are passionate about providing a listening ear, offering advice based on similar experiences, and increasing awareness of the campus resources that are available to students. PSNavs are dedicated to fostering an on-campus environment centered around wellness, support, and accessibility. Because of this, PSNavs are key facets in ensuring that the principles of trust, acceptance, and support are embedded within the campus culture of UMMSM.
