About:

SAMSA is an organization that aims to unify South Asian medical students across the United States. As a chapter, we hope to increase interest in and raise awareness of healthcare issues affecting South Asian communities locally and globally and to share the rich South Asian Culture with our peers at Tulane University School of Medicine. We also aim to support and guide medical students of South Asian descent as they enter [TUSOM]. SAMSA strives to establish relationships with physicians to gain valuable mentorship, collaborate with other student groups to hold various community-building events and organize various social and academic events throughout such that students can learn about South Asian culture and health concerns. All students who are interested in learning about South Asian culture through a medical lens are welcome to join.
