Elizabeth Morgan is a third year medical student at the Medical School for International Health (MSIH) at Ben Gurion University, a program conducted in collaboration with Columbia University Medical Center. MSIH is located in the Negev desert in the south of Israel and provides physicians-in-training with a focus on global health and cultural issues. The area serves a unique and varied population which has become a platform for her education.
Elizabeth became involved with AMSA in her second semester of medical school as her class representative. Through this position she was able to attend her first national convention in 2009, and quickly became aware of how AMSA's ideology and goals closely coincided with her own as well as those of her school. At that event she helped redefine the construction of the International region and was elected to serve on the International Board of Regional Directors for Africa and Asia. She held this position for two years, for one of which she was also the president of her local chapter. Her time at AMSA has not only defined her medical education, but ultimately changed her ideas about her medical field of interest and future career goals.
Currently, Elizabeth holds a position on the Board of Trustees as the International Trustee.
