Mission

MMSA is open to all TTUHSC medical students regardless of military affiliation. 

1. Its primary mission is to support current military contract students by:

   • Providing a network of communication to all military medical students regarding Officer Basic Courses (OBC), summer Active Duty Trainings (ADT), military residencies/fellowships, and helpful information pertaining to each branch's Health Professional Scholarship Program (HPSP)
   • Providing Physical Training (PT) to prepare students for summer ADT rotations, to promote camaraderie, and to gauge physical performance with a PT test each semester
   • Facilitating a Military Doctor Mentor Program where students can shadow local physicians with military experience to gain helpful insight on their future career
   • Hosting occasional dinners for MMSA members/spouses at Military Mentor's homes and include discussions such as "Military Medicine", "Specific Specialties", "Military Medical Training",  and "Military Spouse Issues" from keynote speakers

2. Its secondary mission includes:

   • Incorporate Nursing and Allied Health Students in our activities, particularly those with military contracts/interests since we will be working together as future team players in the military heath care system
   • Act as a source of information for those thinking of joining the military healthcare team
   • Promote esprit de corps through various group activities throughout the year
   • Participate in service projects each semester in the school and local community
