About Student National Medical Association – UTMB Chapter

Student National Medical Association (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.

SNMA focuses on community outreach to fulfill its mission not only to nurture and support the academic enrichment of its members but also to serve communities in a real and proactive way. Our outreach programs educate and empower local communities to make healthy lifestyle choices.

We continually pilot and implement community service programs following National Protocols. Protocols were created to guide our efforts to serve minority communities through health education and screening programs directly. Regions and chapters adhere to these National Protocols to educate young and old as SNMA fulfills its commitment to reduce morbidity and mortality in underserved communities.
