Established in 1964, 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.

Student National Medical Association Johns Hopkins University Chapter

Johns Hopkins’ chapter of the Student National Medical Association works closely with the Office for Medical Student Diversity. We have mutual goals of: (1) supporting underrepresented minorities in biomedical research and medicine; (2) increasing the number of physicians, scientists, and researchers who are African American/Black or from other racial and ethnic underrepresented groups; and (3) eliminating health disparities.

Hopkins' SNMA programs include, but are not limited to, social and networking events with medical students, house staff and faculty, career advising sessions, sexual health education for local middle school students, and mentoring and health professions workshops for local high school students and Hopkins' undergraduate students in the Minority Association of Pre-Medical Students (MAPS). See more details about our community service work below. Additionally, we are heavily involved in the recruitment of underrepresented minority students to the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. In collaboration with the Office of Admissions, we host dinners on interview days, help to organize Second Look Weekend, and maintain ongoing communication with accepted and prospective students. 

We encourage you to join SNMA to be part of a family that leans on each other for support, celebrates milestones, and helps address health disparities. For more information, follow us on Instagram (@jhu_snma), email us at [email protected].

Our Projects

Community service is the heart and soul of the SNMA and eliminating disparities in health care delivery, disease morbidity, and disease mortality are among our highest priorities.
