STUDENT PSR AT UC DAVIS MISSION STATEMENT

Student Physicians for Social Responsibility (SPSR) at UC Davis is an organization of medical students dedicated to the elimination of pervasive threats to public health. We seek to improve public health and to advance social justice by focusing on three central goals:

• Violence Prevention: to reduce and prevent interpersonal violence in our community, especially injury and death due to firearms and domestic violence;
• Environmental Health: to identify and eliminate pervasive environmental threats to public health;
• Health Care Access: to promote greater access to health care, particularly among underserved and impoverished populations.

As medical students and future physicians, we believe we have a unique opportunity and responsibility to address these issues, both within the medical community and in society at large. We promote these goals through community outreach, education, and direct political action. Ultimately, our work embodies a commitment to build a society where individuals may live free from threats of violence and environmental harm, with access to health care for all members.
