We were thrilled to announce that the UAG School of Medicine International Program participated as a Platinum Sponsor at the 2024 Latino Medical Student Association (LMSA) National Conference, which took place from September 20-22, 2024, in Los Angeles, California! The event, held during Hispanic Heritage Month, brought together over 1,000 Hispanic medical and pre-med students to connect with medical schools and residency programs. We were excited to take part in the Exhibitor Fair, providing us with a valuable opportunity to engage with LMSA members and chapters as we continued to attract future students to our international program.
This vital event brought together medical and pre-medical students, faculty, and healthcare professionals dedicated to addressing the unique healthcare needs of Latino and Hispanic communities while empowering the next generation of Latino physicians.
Our participation underscores UAG’s commitment to fostering a diverse medical workforce equipped to serve various populations. We recognize the importance of preparing bilingual and bicultural doctors who can effectively communicate with and understand the cultural nuances of their patients. This approach not only enhances patient care but also builds trust within communities that often face barriers to accessing healthcare.
The UAG School of Medicine International Program proudly welcomed Michael Hermosa, Chief Unity Agent of Project IMG, and Board Member Zuly Gómez to campus for the launch of a strategic partnership aimed at enhancing medical students’ residency applications.
At UAG School of Medicine, hands-on learning is at the core of medical education. This week, members of the Student Interest Group in Neurology (SIGN) took part in an engaging and immersive Neuro Exam Workshop for Infants, led by the distinguished Dr. Álvarez at the Center for Simulated Patient Care on our International Campus.
