Region VI Home

Region VI

Welcome! Often imitated, never duplicated, Region VI aka The Dynasty, is comprised of SNMA and MAPS chapters in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia. Region VI is also home to one of the two founding chapters of the SNMA, the Howard University College of Medicine. Since its founding in 1964, the SNMA has successfully supported and increased the amount of underrepresented minority medical students across the country and beyond. With a rich history of leadership, service, scholarship, and achievement, members of Region VI are deeply engaged in fulfilling the mission and values of the Student National Medical Association. Follow us as we take on the task of becoming clinically excellent, culturally competent, and socially conscious physicians of color!
