Founded by Howard University School of Medicine (HUCM) alumni in 1871, HUMAA is a 501(c)(3) organization governed by a Board of Directors. Our Association operates independently from the university with a mission of engaging and supporting alumni, as well as providing scholarships to HUCM students.  This mission is also accomplished by providing long white coats for the graduating seniors, sponsoring an annual welcome event for freshmen, conducting a monthly alumni speaker series to mentor and educate current students, and endowing a Chair in Basic Sciences at HUCM.  HUMAA advocates for greater diversity and representation across the medical field. Our educational programs are open to all aspiring medical professionals, as well as current practitioners seeking to enhance their knowledge and skills. In addition, HUMAA is committed to addressing healthcare disparities by raising awareness and providing education to underserved communities that are most affected by these inequities.
