The American Medical Student Association (AMSA), with
a half-century history of medical student activism, is the oldest and largest
independent association of physicians-in-training in the United States. Founded
in 1950 to provide medical students a chance to participate in organized
medicine, AMSA began under the auspices of the American Medical Association.
Starting in 1960, the association refocused its energies on the problems of the
medically underserved, inequities in our health-care system and related issues
in medical education. Since 1968, AMSA has been a fully independent student
organization.
Today, AMSA is a student-governed, national organization committed to
representing the concerns of physicians-in-training. With a membership of over
30,000 medical students, pre-medical students, interns and residents from across
the country, AMSA continues its commitment to improving medical training and the
nation's health.
The Premedical Professions Program at UNF is an advising and support system
for undergraduates preparing for careers as physicians, physician assistants,
dentists, podiatrists, optometrists, pharmacists or veterinarians. UNF does not
advocate any particular major as the best preparation for a medical career. The
UNF Premedical Program is not an academic program.
