The Catholic Medical Students' Association is an organization seeking to promote spiritual and moral values, foster the development of spiritual life and worship, and provide an opportunity for medical students to congregate and share their experiences. The organization is interested in integrating medical education with faith and ethics. We encourage all of our members to follow the precepts of the Hippocratic Oath, as well as the USCCB Ethical & Religious Directives.

Whether practicing medicine in a Catholic or secular institution, it is necessary to keep these precepts in mind. Finally, members of the Catholic Medical Students' Association work to exemplify the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy, especially caring for the sick, the poor, and most vulnerable members of our community. The organization is affiliated with, and supported by, the John Paul II Newman Center, the Catholic Physicians Guild of Chicago, and the Archdiocese of Chicago.
