Medical school years are likely to be some of the toughest you’ll experience. AMSA CH exists to support you on this journey; to remind you that self-care is essential; to help you synthesize the news, trends and ever-changing landscape of medicine; and most importantly, to give you a nationally recognized platform to make REAL change in healthcare.
Have you ever asked yourself what needs to change to improve and advance healthcare/medicine for all? We have the audacity, again and again, to create programming and learning opportunities that seek to answer this question — filling gaps that often exist in medical school training. As believers in progress, not just in medical science but in intersectional, compassionate, and value-based care, AMSA unites aspiring physicians who dare to evolve, adapt, and respond to the changing face of medicine.
Not only that, but AMSA offers some serious discounts and perks!! As a member, you have access to an immense amount of test prep discounts, free counseling, MCAT study resources, travel discounts for conferences, and more, thanks to partners like Kaplan, The Princeton Review, MedSchoolCoach, and the New England Journal of Medicine.
