APAMSA serves as a forum for student leaders to engage these health issues and develop initiatives and projects addressing those needs. The local, regional, and national activities of APAMSA aim to promote the health of the AANHPI community and help healthcare workers understand how to care for AANHPI patients in a culturally sensitive manner.
Finally, APAMSA provides an important venue for pre-medical students to meet, exchange experiences, and develop personally and professionally through leadership and service.
APAMSA is an undergraduate student group at the University of Pennsylvania.
