Latino Medical Student Association (LMSA) is a non-profit medical student organization that has been in existence since 1983 at the University of Illinois at Chicago-College of Medicine.

Every year we offer a scholarship, and that scholarship is awarded to an incoming first year University of Illinois at Chicago medical student.
