About
AMWA membership is comprised of physicians, residents, medical students, pre-medical students, health care professionals, and supporters. AMWA is the oldest multispecialty organization dedicated to advancing women in medicine and improving women’s health.
​
While there is roughly an equal number of men and women in medicine, female physicians make significantly less than male physicians and hold fewer academic and leadership positions. Women from many different backgrounds still face numerous obstacles entering a career in medicine. As an organization, AMWA is committed to promoting women in medicine and advocating for women’s health. We set the platform on being a female in the healthcare field, providing support and resources to fellow pre-health women. Ultimately, our goal is to provide support for our members as well as valuable leadership and mentoring opportunities.
We believe all women can embrace who they are,
can define their future, and can change the world.
Our Mission
To advance women in medicine, advocate for equity, and ensure excellence in health care.
