Muslim Student Union

Muslim Student Union (MSU) is the Muslim affinity group at UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine (DGSOM). We aim to: 

• Educate the DGSOM community on how to provide culturally humble, compassionate, patient-centered care to Muslim patients and their families. 

• Advocate for and support the needs of Muslim students and colleagues at DGSOM. 

• Advocate for and serve the needs of structurally vulnerable communities in Los Angeles with a focus on the local underserved Muslim population. 

• Plan social and professional events to unite the medical student and medical health professional community within DGSOM and UCLA Health.  

• Create an inclusive environment based on understanding, respect, and tolerance that celebrates our differences. 

• Plan interfaith events with our colleagues at DGSOM, UCLA Health and all our affiliated hospitals (Olive View, Harbor, Cedars, VA) to promote a spirit of standing together, health, and well-being amongst our entire community.
