SNMA is one of the nation’s oldest and largest independent, student-run organizations focused on the needs and concerns of culturally diverse medical students. Membership includes more than 8,000 pre-medical and medical students, residents and physicians nationally.
The TTUHSC School of Medicine chapter of SNMA participates in various projects including mentoring high school students, organizing a community health fair, working with the undergraduate community, and helping improve medical school curriculum and admissions.
