Meet Donya Ahmadian, MPH, Civic Science Fellow


“AMSA aspires to be a guiding light within the medical space, opening gateways to meaningful learning and driving social change that can often feel out of reach. It is our hope and vision to foster a sense of community where medical students can connect, share openly, and find solace in knowing they are surrounded by others who care deeply about making a difference. Through this program, we aim to equip you with the tools to help identify the issues you care most about and to provide a platform and network of like-minded advocates and mentors. We strive to empower you to build the future of medicine that you envision, one where you can practice in alignment with your values and in pursuit of your dreams, without sacrificing what truly matters to you. We look forward to continuing to bring this vision to life at Future Physicians for Change 2025 and Advocacy Day, where we long to embolden you to take action towards the healthcare of tomorrow”

What is my commitment?

By applying to this program, you agree to participate in 4 weekly calls, 1 per week during the month-long program. This may be a voice or video call as agreed upon and arranged by each individual pair. The suggested length of each call to ensure adequate time to address the topic for the week is 30 minutes or more.

We hope that the connections made through this program will continue beyond the duration of the program, but the “sprint” design of the program is intended to allow our mentors and mentees to squeeze this valuable interaction into their busy schedules.
