MMSA Medical Muslim Student Association

T he Medical Muslim Student Association (MMSA) at VCOM strives to make the entire medical community more aware of health issues that are unique to Muslim patients. MMSA works to bring together students with Muslim VCOM alumni and medical professionals. The group serves the community through outreach efforts and education that improves healthcare for everyone. • MMSA invited new students, returning students and any students rotating around Virginia for a potluck dinner. People brought food from different cultures for a night of sharing and socializing.

• Along with CMDA, MMSA members held a first-aid and health fair for local

refugees new to the area. Members taught them the basics of first-aid, healthy diets and preventive care. In addition, MMSA provided daycare for the children.
