Advocacy is central to AMSA.

For over seven decades, we’ve stood up for equity, social justice and inclusion in health care — by banding together as a unified force for positive change. Together, we’ve moved legislators and key influencers to create a more human, just and accessible realm of medicine. And we’re gaining even more momentum.

This is what distinguishes AMSA from any other student organization: you lead the way. As a student-run organization, members, like you, are afforded the opportunities to lead, advocate and influence change. Moreover, we are independent — this means we can advocate for change with no conflict of interest from corporate, governing bodies — unlike many other student organizations.
