Jack Jannet, BS, Appointed to SMA’s Physicians-in-Training Committee

The Southern Medical Association (SMA) is pleased to announce the appointment of Jack Jannet, BS, to SMA’s Physician-in-Training (PIT) Committee.

Jack is currently a second-year medical student at Texas A&M Naresh K. Vashisht College of Medicine. Before starting medical school, he graduated with a BS in Human Biology from the University of Southern California and then worked as a research assistant for the Pathokinesiology Laboratory at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center. His career and research interests include orthopaedic surgery, biomechanics, and rehabilitation.

Jack is eager to serve on the Physicians-in-Training Committee because, as he said, “meaningful engagement of physicians early in their careers is essential to building a resilient, inclusive, and forward-looking medical community.” Drawing from his own experience navigating challenges within today’s complex healthcare systems, he is especially motivated by the committee’s focus on supporting trainees at every stage. Jack added that he hopes to contribute to initiatives that foster clinical and academic growth while promoting “professional identity formation, leadership development, and well-being.”
