The NAMS-MOLA 2025 Annual Conference is an academic event that gathers Hispanic/Latino/a/e/x (hereafter LHS+) identifying and affirming health experts and medical Spanish educators and leaders. The conference provides education centered on LHS+ health topics for physicians, health professionals, researchers, educators, and students.
