Student National Medical Association

The Student National Medical Association (SNMA) was founded in 1964 on the campuses of Meharry Medical College (Nashville, TN) and Howard University College of Medicine (Washington D.C.). It is the nation’s oldest and largest organization focused on the needs and concerns of medical students of color. Currently, the organization has over 190 chapters at allopathic and osteopathic medical schools across the nation.

SNMA is committed to supporting current and future underrepresented minority medical students, addressing the needs of underserved communities, and increasing the number of clinically excellent, culturally competent, and socially conscious physicians.
