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. Find out what leadership role best suits you.
Are you driven by a particular issue that keeps you up at night? Maybe local organizing is your thing. Or maybe you’d like to serve as a National Leader – leveraging your expertise on a more broad scale. Check out the following opportunities and see what strikes you. And don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
