Physician Advisory Board

What is the Physician Advisory Board?

The Physician Advisory Board is a network of physicians interested in helping Asian American medical students via APAMSA. For some, this means providing long term planning and insight for APAMSA's student leaders. For others, it means lending their expertise and good name in building bridges between APAMSA and other community organizations and corporate sponsors. And for others, it means mentorship and teaching, at the national conventions and wherever anyone is interested in listening. For many of us, it's a combination of all of these. We pitch in wherever we can, whenever we can and however we can.

The members of the Physician Advisory Board represent the spectrum of what can be done with an M.D.--we have residents and fellows as well as attendings. We work in academics, private practice and the public health sector. We have former leaders of APAMSA and current leaders of other prominent Asian American and health organizations in our ranks.

You'll find us at the National Conventions and on APAMSA's e-mail lists. Behind the scenes, we offer advice to the APAMSA Executive Committee and organize events like the annual Pre-Conference Leadership Forum.

Why do all this, you ask? Quite simply, we believe in APAMSA, and we believe that it's important to help promote and develop the Asian American leaders of tomorrow. That's you. Make us proud!

If you know of an Asian American physician that is or would be interested in helping the students of APAMSA, think about asking her or him to be a part of the PAB. The more the merrier!
