The Latino Medical Student Association is a national organization that strives to support current and future health providers with the resources to advocate for the health of the Latino community through service, mentorship, and education. LMSA consists of Latino, Hispanic and Ally members. We have over 130 chapters and 8000 members all working to promote Latino health. LMSA also aims to promote the unification of Latino medical students, provide a voice for underrepresented students and promote retention of Latino medical students at all levels.

Southern Illinois University School of Medicine (SIUSOM) was established in 1970 to assist the people of central and Southern Illinois in meeting their health care needs.
