Our Mission
Purpose and Goals: The American Medical Student Association (AMSA) is a student-led, independent, and global organization dedicated to supporting and empowering future physicians. Founded in 1950, AMSA serves as a platform for pre-medical and medical students to grow as leaders, advocates, and compassionate healthcare professionals.
Mission: To educate and empower diverse future physicians to become advocates for equitable healthcare and to foster wellness for patients.
AMSA believes that it takes more than medical school to make a physician—it takes a commitment to justice, compassion, and lifelong learning.
