We are committed to supporting future under-represented minority health students, addressing the needs of underserved communities, and increasing the number of clinically excellent, culturally competent, and socially conscious physicians.
We offer programs providing insight into the health field, mentorship opportunities with UC Davis medical students (specifically SNMA), and valuable volunteer experience.
