Learning to Lead, Learning to Care

Since 1964, the Student National Medical Association (SNMA) has been the guardian of the recruitment, retention, and graduation of minority medical students. Learning to Care, Learning to Lead: The History of the Student National Medical Association is the story of how SNMA came to prominence and continues to be the organization most directly responsible for enhancing the numbers of culturally sensitive and clinically excellent physicians in the United States.

Mrs. Annette McLane served SNMA between 1991 and 2021. She was both the organizations longest tenured Executive Director and Convention Planner.
