In collaboration with the BYU School of Medicine and the Collegium Aesculapium, we are excited to announce that Collegium Aesculapium has merged with the BYU Medical Society to form a new Medical Society for LDS Medical professionals (formal name pending approval). Collegium Aesculapium members will be automatically transitioned to this newly formed group. For those interested in joining the new society who had not previously joined either prior organization can indicate their interest by completing this form. Thank you for your support of Collegium Aesculapium. You can anticipate the same excellent experience as we join forces with the BYU Medical School. We look forward to continuing our work together through the new organization.
