Student Osteopathic Medical Association (SOMA) is the nation’s largest network of Osteopathic medical students and the student arm of the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). We work year-round to educate and prepare Osteopathic leaders and advocates.
Pre-SOMA is a branch of SOMA dedicated to pre-medical students. As a member of Pre-SOMA, you gain access to national conferences, workshops, scholarship opportunities, mentorship, and the chance to develop professional connections with DO students and physicians across the country. This is an opportunity that you do NOT want to miss as an undergraduate student applying to medical school! Being involved with Pre-SOMA is invaluable throughout the pre-medical journey and is acknowledged by Osteopathic medical school admissions. Our goal is to provide you with tools, resources, and experiences to help you become the best, most well-rounded medical school applicant you can be.
