Every fall, AMSA members come together to raise their voices in unison
…a powerful chorus of change, growth, and community — future physicians from medical school campuses near and far. And this chorus only gets stronger and louder as the months pass, culminating in a global, spring convening like no other. This is AMSA’s Annual Convention: Future Physicians for Change.
And here’s what you need to know: the FP4Change adventure begins now.
What’s this about?
Everyone remembers their first AMSA Annual Convention. It’s a vibe. It’s a movement. This event summons tomorrow’s physicians from all walks of life and all corners of the country and globe. The result? Three days of energy, optimism, learning, advocacy and connection with experts, peers and mentors.
And, as we’ve learned over the years, the sooner you start planning for it (as in, today!), the better the experience. There’s so much tap into. Just how you do it is up to you — and we’re here to help you along.
See, Future Physicians for Change is not the kind of event where you slap on your name tag, watch a few presentations and head out. It’s an inspired, year-long journey (really, a life-long journey if you think about it) where you immerse yourself in learning, advocacy, research and networking throughout the year.
And it all coalesces at Future Physicians for Change (this year is our 74th convention!) — and we’re headed back to Washington DC.
How to prepare?
First up: Save the Date. Future Physicians for Change 2024 is happening May 30 – June 1, 2023 in Washington DC. Put it on your calendar!
Choose your adventure — dive into one or many of the following opportunities that set things up so nicely for the year ahead (and all the years that follow, really!):
- Pick your AMSA Scholars Program. Or pick a few! These are focused programs that allow you to delve into timely, critical topics from experts — then meet the experts in person (and more experts!) at FP4Change. Explore what’s on.
- Think on a poster topic. Take that research that’s been rolling around in your head and crystalize it into a project — then share the poster at our poster competition at FPF4Change (you may win!). Our AMSA Scholars Program is a great way to dig in here.
- Consider becoming a leader. Nationally or locally — leaders are critical to AMSA — and reserve special “seats at the table” at FP4Change (not to mention, help drive AMSA forward). Check out the options here.
- Help forge policy! Play a role in AMSA’s House of Delegates.
- Join the Reproductive Health Project — advocate for comprehensive healthcare and access to full range of reproductive services. One of our more robust programs — get involved!
- Advocate for med-ed reform — Help improve medical school curricula and promote well-being among medical students by addressing issues like mental health and burnout. Learn more here.
- Join AMSA’s anti-racism efforts: Engage within the medical community to promote inclusivity and equity and join our team working on actionable goals. Get know our REACH program.
And those are just some of the opportunities — give our Action Committees and Campaigns a tour.
