The MedLinks program works to support MIT students in connecting to campus support resources and determining when and how to seek medical attention. MedLinks is a residentially-based peer health advocacy program that supports the health of students in their residences along with the wider MIT community through one-on-one interactions and via health promotion events.

Residential Directors 2025-2026
Residential Directors (RDs) are leaders within the living groups who facilitate active communication among MedLinks and spearhead efforts to increase MedLinks’ presence within their living group. RDs are essential to the MedLinks organization as they increase and maintain cohesion among MedLinks in their living group and between the living group and Exec. RDs represent the interests of their respective living groups by interviewing new MedLinks member candidates, organizing monthly meetings with the MedLinks in their living groups, hosting events and speakers, managing a budget from Exec, and attending all-RD meetings with the Vice President.
