Incorporated
in 1962, the AMSA Foundation is the programming arm of AMSA. The
Foundation develops programs that give physicians in training
opportunities that they wouldn't otherwise have. The programs are
administered at the national level, but frequently involve local
communities and individual medical students.
The
Foundation receives grants from private foundations and government
contracts in order to carry out programs. We are constantly looking
for new ideas to mold into programs for health professions students.
If you have ideas and would like to share them with Foundation staff
or even work as an intern in developing your ideas at the
Foundation, please let us know. |
