American Medical Student Association (AMSA)
AMSA is the largest pre-medical organization in the country. Our
aim is to provide a community of support for students interested in
the medical field. AMSA is a great way to gain community service
experience, clinical experience, leadership skills, and effective
networking with other students to get help with the MCAT and exchange
study materials. All AMSA members will have access to all AMSA records
and references when applying to medical school, participate in the new
Community Service Program started with the Dean of the College of
Natural Sciences, and much more. All activities and events in AMSA are
aimed at strengthening your application to medical school. For more
