Click the join button on the top header bar. Students attending a US medical school with an existing S.L.R.S chapter are to download, fill, and submit the member application form. In the absence of a S.L.R.S chapter, the chapter application form must be submitted for board review to establish a new chapter before memberships are granted.  

Therefore purpose of S.L.R.S is to encourage medical students to contribute to the scientific field by writing and even publishing literature reviews. We understand that for a lot of medical students it is very difficult for them to get involved in publishing research projects, due to a lack of resources from their schools, and our organization believes that the best way to get students without these opportunities involved in research is to teach them how to create, write, and organize literature review on medical topics that they are passionate about. 

The submission deadline is June 4 at 11:59 p.m., although we understand that some individuals may have issues that prevent them from submitting by this timeframe. If this occurs, please contact us and we will attempt to find a solution, but there is no guarantee that it will work out. So please try your best to submit your work before the deadline.
