AMSA Press Room

AMSA's Core Purpose:
AMSA inspires a community of future physicians
through education and advocacy.

For more than 60 years, the American Medical Student Association has been committed to improving medical training and advancing the profession of medicine. AMSA members include medical and premedical students, residents and practicing physicians. They are future physician leaders who believe that health professionals and patients are partners in the management and maintenance of health, and that access to high-quality health care is a right and not a privilege.
