The AMSA
Scholars Programs are live, online courses led by field experts to explore
topics such as Health Equity, Cultural Sensitivity, Global Health, Sexual
Health, Integrative Medicine, Patient Safety, Public Health, and Medical
Humanities. Scholars learn from and work with mentors during a six-month live,
online course that addresses topics that are typically insufficiently
incorporated in formal medical school curricula. Becoming an AMSA Scholar is a
unique opportunity for future physicians to collaborate, learn, and grow.
Applications will be accepted until September 15th. (amsa.org/Academy)
Scholars
will work collaboratively, guided by the program coordinators and expert
facilitators to focus on the specific issues addressed in each course, and will
propose, design, and implement a project which connects their personal
enrichment as a scholar to positive impact on a local community.
Scholars
will also have the opportunity to present their projects at the AMSA Convention
"Tell Your Story" Poster and Project Exhibition, which will be on
Friday, March 7, 2014, in New Orleans. (amsa.org/Conv)
