The American Medical Student Association (AMSA), with a half-century history of medical student activism, is the oldest and largest independent association of physicians-in-training in the United States. Our strength is giving power to medical students to take action and create change about issues that they care about. AMSA focuses on numerous issues as they relate to health, equity and climate change throughout every leadership year. We do this via writing, advocacy, policy statements, lobby day, programming and everyday actions of our AMSA members.
