Imperial College School of Medicine Students' Union (ICSMSU) is the students' union of Imperial College School of Medicine. It is charged with caring for the educational, pastoral, social and extracurricular needs of the undergraduate students of the Faculty of Medicine of Imperial College London, and is a constituent union of Imperial College Union.
Formed in 1997 by the mergers of the Students' Unions of St Mary's Hospital Medical School, Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School (formerly Charing Cross Hospital Medical School and Westminster Hospital Medical School) and the Royal Postgraduate Medical School.
Rivalry was abundant before and during the years or mergers. The 1954 film Doctor in the House was reportedly based on the behaviour of the St Mary's students.
The Union has one full-time sabbatical president supported by 16 student officers, each covering an area such as entertainments, education, welfare, clubs & societies, alumni & careers, or sites & services. The president is also the British Medical Association ISC Chair, as well as a delegate to Medgroup.
The three academic officers, along with the respective year representatives, look after the 6-year MBBS/BSc Course, the 5-year graduate entry MBBS course, and all students undertaking BSc courses.
ICSMSU runs a highly successful "Mums and Dads" programme which aims to match up new students with older students on the same course.
There are currently over 40 student-run clubs and societies especially for the members of ICSM. Many of the bigger clubs can trace their history back to the original hospital medical schools. Most of the clubs compete in the United Hospitals competitions, or send players to the combined teams. Notable clubs and societies include Imperial Medicals Rugby Club, ICSM Boat Club, ICSM Water Polo, and ICSM Light Opera.
