Advocacy

The APAMSA Advocacy Branch is committed in engaging health professional students in issues that affect our communities.

As the Advocacy Branch of the only national organization representing Asian Pacific American medical students, we seek to amplify the voices of minority communities. We provide chapters with the resources, opportunities, and networks to translate the principles of health equity and social justice into political action.
