Sara Amini

My name is Sara Amini, and I am a second-year medical student at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW). My AMSA journey began at a community college after moving to the United States from Iran. I later transferred to UCLA, where I chaired the International Opportunities Program at AMSA Bruins, leading global engagement efforts.

I became involved with National AMSA after recognizing its impactful advocacy work, especially in areas close to my heart, such as reproductive rights and access to care. Alongside my passion for advocacy, I am deeply committed to global health and advocating for the care of people with disabilities. Currently, I serve as the co-president of AMSA at MCW and have taken on the role of National AMSA Medical Membership Director. In this capacity, I aim to promote AMSA’s values across domestic medical schools and ensure our legacy of advocacy and excellence continues.

In my free time, I enjoy catching up on sleep, watching TV shows and movies, creating content for my medical journey Instagram (@studentdramini), hiking, and exploring new coffee shops that double as study spots.
