The goal of PH-MRU is to provide a wealth of resources, alternative opinions and support to pre-health undergraduate students – whether that is for pre-requisite class help, application help or general emotional support during the undergraduate experience. The long-term goal of PH-MRU is to abolish the harmful idea that our classmates are our competitors; we, as members of PH-MRU, believe that there is room for everyone to succeed, and we will encourage our members to celebrate each success as if it were our own.
PH-MRU will strive to be the go-to place for pre-health students to locate volunteer opportunities, mentorship, as well as both academic and application help. This may ease some of the confusion surrounding the processes of obtaining good extracurriculars or networking within the community for research, volunteer or clinical opportunities while in undergrad.
We hope to help individuals build connections through the student population and through activities held within the club. Alongside, we also hope to help guide students that have joined MRU during the midst of COVID-19 and online school, whether this be reinforcing their connections with the student body and/or creating familiarity with classes and student life in person.0

A community to help students network with one another, various professionals in the industry and provide multiple opportunities for career development for its members.

In 2012, the HRSA was established as a society through SAMRU and was renamed to the Human Resources Students' Society (HRSS). Over the years the HRSS has been a catalyst for providing beneficial opportunities each semester to MRU’s HR students through networking events, interview workshops, year-end case studies and much more. In present time, the HRSS has continued to provide excellent opportunities virtually for its members despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, the HRSS has evolved across Mount Royal University and has expanded to other campuses nationwide.
