The Journal of the LMSA is committed towards creating a national forum for discussion of topics relevant to the Latino medical community and the patients they serve as well as creating a venue for publishing and disseminating research to the LMSA membership. Moreover, the Journal of LMSA allows regional LMSA chapters to share tips and advice about medical school to members outside of their jurisdiction, contributing to a support network for medical students that stretches from coast-to-coast.
