Our chapter is dedicated and aimed to assist students on their journey of entering medical and health professional fields. The club hosts workshops, programs, community service opportunities and lectures to help expose students and enable them to become competitive candidates for health professional programs. Additionally, students receive direct mentorship from our SNMA counterparts at Cooper Medical School and Rowan School of Osteopathic Medicine.
