VTC Chapter Student National Medical Association

Mission

The 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 and culturally competent and socially  conscious physicians. 

We intend to achieve this goal through: 

  • Advocacy: serving as a credible and accurate source of information and activism relevant to minority issues 
  • Representation: Increasing the presence of minority mentors in research and medicine and fostering development of future minority leaders in these fields
  • Volunteerism: Serving the needs of underserved communities and communities of color

MedDOCs (Medical Discovery of Careers) has changed its name to ScholarDocs. Find more information about ScholarDocs here.
