LGBTQ Student Association (LGBTQSA)
The LGBTQ Student Association is a registered campus organization consisting of both health science students and graduate students. This is a group that has also advocated for greater campus needs of LGBTQIA+ students, such as the inclusion of gender identity and sexual orientation in the admissions process. A large task of this group is the Annual LGBTQIA+ Health Forum, a unique student-organized program that provides attendees the opportunity to learn more about the healthcare needs of the LGBTQIA+ community and become better prepared to serve patients in the clinical setting. For more information about the LGBTQ Student Association, please email Tracy Garcia ([email protected]).

Pride In Medicine (PRIDE)
Pride in Medicine works to enhance the climate for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer-identifying (LGBTQIA+) individuals and enrich the career and personal development of these individuals in the School of Medicine.
Our mission is:
- to promote a welcoming and inclusive institutional community for LGBTQIA+ medical students and
