Welcome Class of 2030!
Welcome to the CMA website for UA COM-P students!
Forming and supporting medical students to live and promote the principles of the Catholic Faith in the science and practice of medicine.
Our goal is to offer fellowship and fun to peer Catholic medical students as we go through school. Working with other chapters in the valley, we hope to have joint masses, monthly meals, and talks from local Catholic physicians. Come as you are because we are happy to have you!
