American Medical Association Medical Student Section - UTCOM

With nearly 50,000 members, The American Medical Association Medical Student Section (AMA-MSS) is the largest and most influential organization of medical students in the country. The AMA-MSS is a vital part of the 155-year-old American Medical Association and has direct input in forming AMA and national health care policy.  With more influence than any other organization representing medical students, the AMA-MSS is dedicated to representing medical students, improving medical education, developing leadership, and promoting activism for the health of America.

The UT College of Medicine is building a tradition of leadership within the AMA, as exemplified by our Dean Jeffery P. Gold, who was recently elected to the AMA Council for Medical Education.  Additionally, the AMA-MSS has a close relationship with the Ohio State Medical Association (OSMA), where we have a say in all issues facing medicine in the state of Ohio.

Please join our organization and become further educated about important medical student issues including student debt relief, health care and medical liability reform, medical education, and patient advocacy.  Learn more about the AMA by exploring our website, our newsletters, and by checking out the AMA national website.  We encourage medical students to be as involved in organized medicine as possible, whether it is through AMA, AMSA, and/or the SNMA.  We truly believe that by doing so your medical education can be more enriching, rewarding, and of better service to you as you prepare to enter medical practice.
