Among our national initiatives are issues of access to health care, health inequalities, and diversity in higher education amongst many others. SNMA is comprised of 10 national regions, each one of these regions organizes a regional conference that takes place at a school of medicine in the region.  This year the New England Regional conference will take place on November 14, 2009 at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, in Worcester, MA.  The title of this years conference is:
