Minority Association of Pre-Medical Students

We are the UChicago chapter of the Minority Association of Pre-medical Students, or MAPS, represents the undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students of the Student National Medical Association.

MAPS represents future underrepresented medical students. Members are creating diversity and making strides in all aspects of medicine and patient care. SNMA has a great interest in increasing the number of physicians of color entering the workforce and know that our pre-medical students are our future colleagues and successors.Through community service and dedication to eliminating ethnic health disparities, we strive to provide ourselves and those around us with a larger sense of being. We stand strong in the light of the many that struggled before us, and are hopeful that we make each step easier for those who come after us. We are leaders in our communities.

Known for our mentorship and pipeline outreach, SNMA is dedicated to ensuring that the needs of pre-medical students are met. SNMA is founded upon the great principles of educating and preparing our members to be the best in the healthcare field and that mentality extends to our pre-medical members.
