Latino Medical Student Association

OUR MISSION:

The Latino Medical Student Association exists to unite and empower current and future physicians through service, mentorship, and education to advocate for the improved health of the Hispanic & Latina/ Latino community in the United States.

OUR GOALS:

We envision a world in which improved health outcomes for all patients arise as a result of the following:

Increased representation and support of healthcare professionals from backgrounds underrepresented among the medical workforces.
Increased awareness of critical issues affecting the health of the Hispanic, Latina/Latino and other marginalized communities.
Increased efforts to reduce disparities in the ways patients of color experience the American healthcare system.

ALL ARE WELCOME TO JOIN THE LMSA Chapter! There is no “Latino’ requirement to be a member of LMSA. At LMSA, we welcome diversity! And while Latino is in our name and our primary focus is the Latino community, we are also committed to supporting underrepresented medical students and providing for underserved populations.

If you love Latinos, hope to learn more about the cultures, or simply wish to help underrepresented /underserved communities, please join us!
