Undocumed Students and Allies (UMSA)
Our mission as Undocumed Students and Allies (UMSA) is to collectively provide support for undocumented medical students at DGSOM and the undocumented community at large. We aim to fulfill this mission by focusing on: Service: Increasing funds, such as loans and scholarships, for undocumented students pursuing health careers and promoting resources to help our undocumented community gain accessibility to competent and compassionate healthcare. Education: Educating students and faculty on the effect that immigration status poses on students, patients, and the community at large while raising awareness on current laws and policies that affect undocumented people. Social Activism: Advocating for policy changes that lead to sustainable solutions for undocumented students pursuing healthcare careers and that reduce the health disparities faced by undocumented communities.
