AMSA

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.

Today, AMSA is a student-governed, national organization committed to representing the concerns of physicians-in-training. AMSA members are medical students, premedical students, interns, residents and practicing physicians. Founded in 1950, AMSA continues its commitment to improving medical training and the nation’s health.

AMSA provides students of TUNCOM the opportunity to participate in a national organization that focuses on advocacy of issues that affect all medical students (MD and DO). It also is an opportunity to educate more MD colleges about the DO profession. It is a great opportunity to learn about key issues that will directly affect us as future doctors and our future patients.
