About Us

The American Medical Women's Association (AMWA) is a national organization made of female physicians and medical students. The organization focuses on the advancement of women in medicine despite the many hardships and challenges women face on their road to a career in medicine. As an undergraduate chapter of AMWA at the City College of New York, we hope to keep AMWA's national goals of health equity and excellence alive, along with providing a space for pre-med students on CCNY's campus to come together and support each other through their medical journeys. We will also work with the graduate chapter of AMWA through the medical students in the CUNY School of Medicine. As a club, we hope to have events and meetings that promote the advancement of the females on our campus. This will be done through networking, social justice, and volunteering events like fundraising for Saving Mothers, a non-profit that provides birthing kits and medical care to mothers and midwives in Guatemala, Kenya, Uganda, and the Dominican Republic. We hope that you join or support in the fall of 2020!
