Liver Rounds
Where Everybody Knows Your Name
“Liver Rounds” Social Hours is a monthly social event sponsored by the Medical Student Government and held at various Richmond clubs/restaurants. Think of it as happy hour for the medical community. The MSG provides the place, free food, and a reasonable excuse (“My professor's gonna be there!”); you provide the witty banter. The purpose of the social hour is to encourage all four medical school classes, basic health science faculty, clinical medicine faculty, and administration to meet regularly with one another on a more personal level. It is hoped that this type of communication will foster a sense of community as well as personal and professional growth throughout our medical school careers. It's also very cathartic to get off of the MCV campus to grab a drink and some free munchies. Social hour is generally held from 5ish-9ish PM, on one Friday each month, usually following an M1 or M2 exam and according to which Friday (lst, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th) most accommodates all four medical school class schedules. The date/time/location of the liver rounds will be emailed out by the MSG's VP of Social Life ahead of the events, so pay attention to your inbox!! Also, make sure you let your clinical and health science faculty members, administrators and residents know when and where “Liver Rounds” Social Hours are—they need to escape the campus sometimes, too!

Medicine BallA Chance To Get A Little Formal
Medicine Ball is the annual formal for the School of Medicine and is usually held in November. Students from all classes along with some faculty and staff attend. It’s a great opportunity to see your friends and classmates and spend a fantastic evening dancing. There will be other formals and other parties, but you don't want to miss this one. It's a lot of fun and there's nothing quite like it the rest of the year. For the past few years, it has been held at the VMFA in the marble room! See you there! |

Match DayThe Future is Now
Each year in March, the M4 class gathers in downtown Richmond to celebrate the passing of the past four years and the promise of the next three to ten to come. The occasion: Match Day, when applicants around the country learn where they'll be heading for residency. A day filled with both anxiety and joy for the fourth-years, Match Day also makes for a fantastic afternoon party, with a special “Cheers” Social Hour in the evening. Come and see where your favorite graduates are headed for the next few years. There will be laughter, shouting and an occasional tear, but the chance to see the entire spectacle - and realize that you'll be doing the same in a few years - isn't one to be missed! |

Take-OffsThe Seniors Strike Back
Quite possibly the most fun you'll have with senior faculty and administrators on campus, Take-Offs are put on each May by the M4 class, consisting of a series of skits about their collective experience at MCV. No one, be they administrators, faculty members, attendings, other students, residents or staff, is spared from the onslaught. Food and drinks are usually provided, and the evening is a great chance to learn some MCV lore (particularly for your third and fourth years!) while interacting with the soon-to-be graduates. Electronic copies are sometimes available, but be warned: nothing beats seeing the show in person alongside the very people being skewered on screen! |

Mr. M1The Event You Don't Want to Miss
To demonstrate that medical students can also be charming, funny, and witty, the student body presents “Mr. M1”; a competition to find that dreamy M1 that every girl wants and every boy desires to be. This talent show that asks competitors to come up with their favorite pick-up line, handle Q and A from hand-picked School of Medicine judges, and a talent that makes the audience go wild. This is an event you don’t want to miss and all proceeds go to charity. |
