The American Medical Student Association (AMSA), founded in 1950 and based in Washington, D.C., is the oldest and largest independent association of physicians-in-training in the United States. AMSA is a student-governed, national organization. They have a membership of 68,000 medical students, premedical students, interns, medical residents and practicing physicians from across the country. AMSA's action committees and interest groups help expose medical students to information on subjects not generally covered in traditional curricula, and is the only major national medical organization in the US that accepts no sponsorship or funding from any pharmaceutical company. ==Strategic priorities== In November 2007, AMSA leaders decided upon four strategic priorities:〔(AMSA's Mission & Aspirations )〕 * ''Quality, Affordable Health Care for All'' through advocacy for health care reform and a single-payer universal health care system * ''Global Health Equity'' through education about our responsibility for rational and proportional assistance for all people * ''Enriching Medicine Through Diversity'' by improving recruitment and retention into medicine of under-reperesented minorities, while increasing the diversity of its own leadership * ''Professional Integrity, Development and Student Well-Being'' that creates a humane and cooperative learning environment, one that will develop physicians worthy of the public trust, through work hour reform, revitalization of professionalism in the medical field, and through AMSA's PharmFree campaign 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「American Medical Student Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
