UVA-SOM - NNLAMS

The University of Virginia Chapter of the National Network of Latin American
Medical Students UVASOM-NNLAMS is devoted to meeting the unique educational
and social needs of Latin American medical students. This includes efforts
to foster student-faculty interaction, conducting community service,
organizing health outreach to the surrounding Latino communities, and
increasing communication among Latin American medical students at the
University of Virginia. UVA-NNLAMS incorporates itself into the School of
Medicine by collaborating with other student associations, promoting the
recruitment and retention of Latino medical students and educating medical
students on Latino health issues. Furthermore, UVA-NNLAMS offers a forum
through which students can voice their concerns about issues pertinent to
the Latino medical community.
