Announcements & Resources
Student National Medical Association Annual National Advocacy Forum Our purpose is to equip medical and premedical student participants with advocacy skills specifically targeted towards minority health policy at the national and local level. This two day forum will enable student participants to understand both the role of the medical student & physician in health reform, as well as potential solutions to issues of health equity, with emphasis on practical skills. We will achieve this through skills-based workshops, engaging panel discussions, and critical reflection of personal agency as physicians and students in advocacy work. These events will culminate in scheduled meetings with legislators on Capitol Hill, as students will lobby for specific pieces of legislation deemed critical to the mission of SNMA and wider imperative to eliminate health inequities in the United States.
