The American Medical Women’s Association (AMWA) is an organization which functions at the international, national and local level to empower women in medicine and to ultimately improve women’s health. These goals are achieved by uniting women through fellowship, addressing systemic bias and discrimination against women in the healthcare sector, connecting with a larger community of women through service projects, and highlighting women’s achievements in healthcare.
At the AMWA UConn Chapter, we seek to optimize education and help connect members to mentorship, research, volunteer, shadowing, advising, and networking opportunities in addition to providing leadership and advocacy opportunities. AMWA UConn serves as both a welcoming community and a resource for members. Our goal is to prepare members for the medical school process and to support them throughout their time at UConn while promoting women’s rights.
Membership is open to all those (graduate students, and undergraduates of any gender) who wish to advance women in medicine and further women’s rights.
