The Biomedical Scholars Association (BSA) is a tri-institutional student organization that supports students underrepresented in science at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, School of Public Health, and School of Nursing. The BSA helps the Hopkins community strive towards diverse and inclusive excellence as well as provides networking and mentors to the larger scientific community. The BSA engages graduate students and develops a network of support among its members through our four key programming events: professional development, community service, social activities and recruitment of URM students to Hopkins.
