AMSA is a student-run national organization that is dedicated to addressing issues that directly affect medical students today and tomorrow. The goals of AMSA are to improve medical education, to educate students on issues regarding health policy, and to support students as advocates.
Advocacy supports students who have disabilities, are minorities, women in medicine, etc.
MCO's AMSA chapter is very strong, with over 220 members. Each year the chapter sponsors numerous events aimed at benefiting the students and the Toledo area community. For the students, we have an annual Instrument Sale, offering instruments at a discounted price, and a Residency Fair. We also hold an annual Medicine Ball Dance and Serf Auction Benefit as a community service fundraiser and for entertainment of students, staff and faculty. At a local level, we strive to serve the students in their needs and in providing educational opportunities.
