About Us
The Student National Medical Association at the University of California, Irvine (SNMA@UCI) is part of the nation's oldest and largest student organization focused on the needs and concerns of medical students of color. SNMA programs are designed to serve the health needs of underserved communities and communities of color. In addition, SNMA is dedicated both to ensuring that medical education and services are culturally sensitive to the needs of diverse populations and to increasing the number of African-American, Latino, and other students of color both admitted to and completing medical school. Community service and outreach is at the heart and soul of the SNMA. SNMA history dates back over 45 years to the first chapter established in 1964 by medical students from Howard University School of Medicine and Meharry Medical College. National membership includes more than 7,000 medical students, pre-medical students, residents and physicians. For more information visit www.snma.org
