The Student National Medical Association (SNMA) is the nation's oldest and largest independent, student-run organization focused on the needs and concerns of medical students of color.
Membership includes more than 8,000 medical students, pre-medical students, residents and physicians.

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, culturally competent and socially conscious physicians. Specifically, SNMA Ross University Chapter seeks to increase the interaction of the student body with the community of Dominica by providing health education outreach programs that will attempt to increase the knowledge and enlighten the citizens of Dominica on health issues and adversities that plague their community.


Sponsored Activities
       Mini Medical School
On Mini Med School Day, we invite students from a local school to come experience medical school with short, interactive lectures on important topics in healthcare, games and a tour of the campus.

   Heart & Soul Hypertension Clinic
SNMA members visit the Portsmouth Market to provide free blood pressure evaluations to local residents and provide information on heart health and how to prevent hypertension.

   SNMA/Salybia Campus Health Fair
In conjunction with the Salybia Mission Project, we organize this health fair especially for those who contribute to our success at Ross – the faculty, staff and administrative personnel, as well as spouses and students. There are stations for a number of health evaluations including blood pressure, blood glucose, weight and body fat percentage and more.

The Student National Medical Association (SNMA) is the nation's oldest and largest student organization focused on the needs and concerns of medical students of color. Membership includes more than 8,000 medical students, pre-medical students, residents and physicians. Established in 1964 by medical students from Howard University and Meharry medical schools, the SNMA boasts over 40 years of service to underserved communities and medical students.

SNMA chapters based at allopathic and osteopathic medical schools throughout the nation and at some colleges implement our programs and activities locally. SNMA programs are designed to serve the health needs of underserved communities and communities of color. In addition, SNMA is dedicated both to ensuring that medical education and services are culturally sensitive to the needs of diverse populations and to increasing the number of African-American, Latino, and other students of color and entering and completing medical school.
