Ayush Shah is a rising second-year medical student at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine. He previously served on the APAMSA National Leadership Committee and has also held leadership roles within his local APAMSA chapter. He is excited to build on these experiences and help expand opportunities for students through professional development and mentorship initiatives this year.

Ayush is interested in dermatology, clinical research, and efforts that improve access to care for underserved and skin-of-color populations. Outside of medicine, he enjoys traveling and trying new foods, listening to music, and cheering on the Los Angeles Chargers and Lakers.
