This is accomplished by recruitment and maintenance of a diverse student body and faculty and promoting cultural competency training whenever possible (Grand Rounds, etc) • INSPIRATION - The OMA seeks to inspire all physicians in training for service and a feeling of urgency to reach out in humanitarian aspects of healthcare.
