Leadership Opportunities

I AM A LOOKING TO GO

At AMSA, we believe it takes more than academic competence to become an effective, compassionate physician.

You need to learn to listen, lead and organize. To advocate for what you believe in. To have the skills to collaborate and communicate with diverse stakeholders, peers and experts.

This is where AMSA comes in. We offer our members a vast array of leadership opportunities, empowering medical students to lift their voices, organize peers or hone their skills in writing, public speaking and teamwork to make change happen.

Opportunities

Are you driven by a particular issue that keeps you up at night? Maybe local organizing is your thing.
