Our Mission

The purpose of this organization is to provide a welcoming environment and support network for Latinx medical students. LMSA at OUHCOM is dedicated to educating students and faculty about health care issues and disparities prevalent in the Latinx communities. We strive to be dynamic and integral members of the greater Columbus area community, both educating and learning in a medical, and cultural capacity. This competency extends to teaching, learning, and practicing Spanish so that each member may be better equipped to serve and connect with the Latinx community.
