Pre-SOMA

Pre-SOMA Your connection to the osteopathic medical student voice to the American Osteopathic Association; yo How do I get involved?

The Student Osteopathic Medical Association (SOMA) is the largest Osteopathic student organization in existence. Run on a national level by volunteer student leaders elected by their peers, SOMA acts as the voice of Osteopathic medical students on issues that affect our medical education, our future careers, and the care of our future patients. Pre-SOMA is the undergraduate division of SOMA, dedicated to the promotion of Osteopathic medicine and the support of all students who aspire to become the kind of caring, compassionate and competent physicians that epitomize Osteopathic medicine. There are two ways to be involved in Pre-SOMA – by becoming a National Member and by being a part of a Pre-SOMA chapter at your local school. To join National Pre-SOMA:
1) Go to www.studentdo.com/join and create a log in
2) Press the “Join SOMA” button on the main page and fill out the form
