Minority Association of Pre-Health and Pre-Medical
About This Organization
- Abbreviation(s):
- MAPS
- Purpose:
- The overall goal of the Minority Association of Pre-Health and Pre-Medical Students is to increase the amount of minorities in medical and other health related professional schools. The organization aims to allow its members an opportunity to have one-on-one interactions with medical students at the Texas A&M College of Medicine. Through these student-student relationships and numerous health-based activities that will take place throughout the year, members will ultimately gain unprecedented insight into the world of medicine and the measures they must take in order to achieve their goals of getting into a professional program. Members will also take part in conferences throughout the state where they will have the opportunity to not only network, but further delve into the exciting world of medicine. A focus on issues such as sexual and mental health, limited access to medical care in various parts of our global and local community, and coping as a pre-medical/pre-health student at Texas A&M is established.
