EST. 1990


The SUMMA 2024 Conference has come to an end, but we are so grateful to have had YOU join us on Saturday, February 3, 2024. It was a pleasure to meet so many of you! We are also excited for the future of medicine as our conference attendees pursue their dreams of becoming physicians and allied health professionals! We hope to see you all again for the SUMMA 2025 Conference next February!


SUMMA is a coalition of Stanford medical students, including representatives from:

  • Asian Pacific American Medical Student Association (APAMSA)
  • First-Generation and/or Low-Income @ Stanford Medical School (FLI@SMS)
  • Latino Medical Student Association (LMSA)

  • Medical Students with Disability and Chronic Illness (MSDCI)
  • Muslim Medical Association (SMMA)
  • Stanford Arab Leadership and Advocacy in Medicine (SALAM)
  • Stanford American Indigenous Medical Students (SAIMS)

Together, we provide support to Stanford's minority medical students as they work toward their degrees and to a future in health care with better outcomes for minority patients.
