Black and Latino Student Organization (BALSO) |
|
The Black and Latino Student Organization is an active chapter of the Student National Medical Association and the National Boriqua Latino Health Organization. We are an organization dedicated to the recruitment, support, and graduation or students from ethnic groups traditionally underrepresented in medicine and other health sciences. To achieve these goals, BALSO offers peer and faculty counseling to its members as well as mentorship to pre-medical students and students from local high schools. BALSO sponsors local and cultural events open to all members of the CUMC community, including an annual Jazz Mixer, film nights, and monthly lunches. We also work to promote awareness about the complex health issues facing underserved communities by sponsoring talks and workshops on health care topics and cultural competency. All members of the CUMC community are invited and welcomed.
