The American Medical Association (AMA) represents medical students through their own democratic, policy-making body: the American Medical Association - Medical Student Section (AMA-MSS).
Specifically, the Jacobs School of Medicine is a part of the New York chapter which is further abbreviated as MSSNY. Due to the large number of medical schools within New York, the AMA-MSSNY has strong lobbying power regarding national AMA policies and issues.
As members of the AMA-MSSNY, students have the opportunity to review critical issues related to medical education, medical policy, and the everyday practice of medicine. MSSNY presents students with the unique ability to lead major efforts from their local chapter.
The AMA-MSS is dedicated to representing medical students, improving medical education, developing leadership and promoting activism for the health of America.
The University at Buffalo Chapter of AMA is a group of motivated students committed to help shape a better, healthier future, for patients and physicians, and for the country as a whole.
At our school, we provide numerous opportunities for members to become involved in community service, public health outreach, professional development, and policy activism.
Our events and/or tasks include:
The AMA-MSS strives to be the medical students’ leading voice for improving medical education, advancing health care and advocating for the future of medicine.
The official mission of the AMA is to promote the art and science of medicine and the betterment of public health. AMA believes that there is a national imperative to chart a successful course for the improvement of health care delivery.
AMA embraces the need for change and believes physician leadership is critical to the successful evolution of health care in a patient focused delivery system. Join the movement today!
