Louisiana State University’s Student Christian Medical Association


Before becoming a legal assistant with the Rowe Law Firm in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Morgan Chanel attended Louisiana State University, where she earned an associate of science degree in marine biology. During her studies, Morgan Chanel went on medical mission trips to the Dominican Republic and Peru as a member of the university’s Student Christian Medical Association (SCMA).

Founded in 1990, the SCMA was created to educate students on the value of sacred principles in relation to the healthcare profession. Students preparing for careers under any field of healthcare are invited to come to the SCMA to discuss common dilemmas and receive positive feedback.

In order to create a spirit of fellowship among its members, the association hosts social events throughout the year. Apart from building a constructive environment for its members, the SCMA also offers a number of volunteer opportunities for them to go on medical missions and serve other needs of local communities.
