Student Organizations
Saint Louis University School of Medicine and the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion strongly encourage SLU students to join student organizations and affinity groups.
Student National Medical Association (SNMA)
The SNMA is committed to supporting current and future underrepresented minority medical students and addressing the needs of underserved communities. We aim to increase the number of clinically excellent, culturally competent, socially conscious physicians. The mission of the SLU Chapter is to provide advocacy, community service, celebrate diversity and increase the pipeline of underrepresented minority students who consider and prepare for medical and scientific careers.
