Announcement: As of August, 2025, we have sunset the SMA student assembly and replaced it with the Learner Engagement Initiatives in order to decrease the burden on students relative to leading program development and to instead broaden the conversation among leaders at all stages of professional training. Furthermore, this will allow for greater inclusion of perspectives from community, patients, educators, program leaders, and learners in realizing the change that unites the alliance. We believe this transition will strengthen connections across the Social Mission Alliance necessary to realize the collective vision that brings us all together, while still maintaining a home base for student activism.
