Our Mission

The Latino Medical Student Association exists to unite and empower current and future physicians through service, mentorship, and education to advocate for the improved health of the Hispanic & Latina/o/x community in the United States.

We are excited to hear about your interest in starting a chapter of The Latino Medical Student Association. By creating a chapter, you get access to a region-wide network of Latino Medical Student Leaders, resources to advocate for institutional change at your school, and access to grants and funding to support your community engagements.

Whether you represent a medical school, undergraduate institution (LMSA Plus), or an international group, you can start an official LMSA chapter by completing our Chapter Application Form.

What to Expect:
• This form serves as an intake for new prospective chapters to the LMSA organization.
• LMSA National encompasses five regions – Midwest, Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, and West – and includes National, International, and Regional chapters.
• The form covers all required information and documentation for each level (some overlap may occur).
• Estimated time: about 20 minutes to complete, depending on document preparation.
• Once submitted, the LMSA National team will review your application, contact you with approval, and forward it to the Midwest region for final recognition.
