CMLA has provided me with much needed guidance and support! The presentations and pre-health opportunities have been very insightful, and everyone is extremely friendly. Being able to work alongside other goal-aligned and motivated students has made me push myself more and take advantage of all opportunities presented my way. I hope to meet and help more great people in the future! 😉

I joined in CMLA simply because I was interested in a volunteering club about community medicine. But CMLA’s a great place for support and for your semiweekly dosage of friendliness! It’s a great experience, hearing about your peer’s goals and how we plan to tread through these tentative times together. I hope CMLA serves as a similar place to its new members. After UCLA, I hope to practice medicine as a physician and continue serving urban houseless populations.

CMLA has been one of the best clubs I’ve joined at UCLA because of its inclusive and super supporting environment. Aside from CMLA, I am also involved in Teens for Screens, AIM, AMWA, Campmed, and the REACH Lab! As a board member, I hope to continue to provide members with helpful resources and to be someone they can reach out to and rely on. I can’t wait to meet everyone!
Audrey Wong
Second Year | Psychobiology Major | Monterey Park, CA
I am the oldest sibling in a family of five, and my hobbies include reading, baking, listening to music, and golfing! As an aspiring surgeon, I first joined CMLA because I wanted to contribute to an organization that aims to provide pre-meds and pre-health students with the opportunity to give back to their community. However, what truly prompted me to really commit to this club was the support and comfort that I felt when I attended the club socials. Every member in this club is exceptionally amiable and approachable, which has made my experience in CMLA very memorable. I’m excited to make many more memories with this amazing group of students!
Victoria Lu
Second Year | Psychobiology Major | Seattle, WA
I joined CMLA as a freshman hoping to meet and connect with other pre-health students, as well as continue my efforts in promoting health equity for the underserved. I loved working in such a welcoming, supportive environment, and really aligned with this club’s strong focus on community service. In the future, I hope to attend med school and specialize in cardiology! :))

I joined CMLA to meet other pre-health students but I stayed for the supportive community. As a member, I learned a lot from the workshops and some good friends through CMLA. I love the club’s duality in how it not only focuses on the community but also on bringing up its own members.
