Today, the average medical student is saddled with $100,000 in debt, so financial support is crucial. Annual dues payments help make it possible for the JHM&SA to fund a number of medical student scholarships each year.
Your dues also enrich the lives of medical students during their time in East Baltimore by funding the following programs and activities: 
| - The Medical Student Society. The MSS represents the medical student body to faculty and administration and organizes social and educational activities.
- JHM&SA Stethoscopes. During the annual White Coat Ceremony, the medical students who have just completed their first year at the School of Medicine are presented with an engraved stethoscope as a gift from the JHM&SA.
|  | - Pager Distribution Day. All medical students who have finished their basic sciences training and are beginning their clinical rotations in the hospital are presented with pagers, free of charge.
- Match Day Brunch. School of Medicine seniors gather to open their white envelopes together and find out which hospital residency programs they will enter after graduating in the spring.
- Student Graduation Receptions.
