The DMS Partners Group is an organization established to assist partners of Dartmouth Medical School students in transitioning to the Upper Valley and providing a network of support. ANYONE who is a significant other or spouse of a DMS student is considered a “Partner.”
We provide updates on events around campus and the Upper Valley, organizing social events throughout the year, and providing volunteer opportunities.
In addition to our monthly social events, we enjoy a monthly Book Club and a “Doclings” play group for families with children. We are working towards increasing our schedule activities to include a Cook’s Club.
Joining DMS Partners is FREE. If you are interested in getting DMS Partners Group Communication, you may fill out the form online or print the DMSPG Member Information Sheet and mail your Information sheet to us with the information found on the form.
