SNMA is… committed to supporting current and future underrepresented minority medical students and increasing the number of clinically excellent, culturally competent and socially conscious physicians. dedicated to reducing morbidity and mortality in under- served communities These communities may currently constitute the minority of the overall population but make up the majority of individuals struggling to maintain good health

SNMA is not… a “black club” only for minorities exclusive a social club

These patients have the same condition, but their treatment may be different We want to make sure that our physicians are more likely to: Work in medically underserved areas Address issues of minority health in practice and research Provide language and culturally competent care Play a key role in ending racial disparities in healthcare

AND… we know how to have fun!
