Middle Eastern, North African and South Asian Student Group (MENASA)
The Middle Eastern, North African and South Asian (MENASA) student group helps educate medical students and medical professionals of the rich culture of people of Middle Eastern, North African and South Asian descent. Our goal is to provide a support system for individuals of similar cultural backgrounds and to help contribute to an environment of cultural acceptance within our UC Davis community. We also look forward to working with undergrads of all descents to provide assistance through mentorship on their paths to medicine. We welcome anyone interested in Middle Eastern, North African, and South Asian issues and culture.
