American Medical Student Association - Strategic Priorities

Strategic Priorities

In November 2007, AMSA leaders decided upon four strategic priorities:

  • Quality, Affordable Health Care for All through advocacy for health care reform and a single-payer universal health care system
  • Global Health Equity through education about our responsibility for rational and proportional assistance for all people
  • Enriching Medicine Through Diversity by improving recruitment and retention into medicine of under-reperesented minorities, while increasing the diversity of its own leadership
  • Professional Integrity, Development and Student Well-Being that creates a humane and cooperative learning environment, one that will develop physicians worthy of the public trust, through work hour reform, revitalization of professionalism in the medical field, and through AMSA's PharmFree campaign

Famous quotes containing the words strategic and/or priorities:

    “The practice of S/M is the creation of pleasure.... And that’s why S/M is really a subculture. It’s a process of invention. S/M is the use of a strategic relationship as a source of pleasure.”
    —Michel Foucault (1926–1984)

    “Work though we must, our jobs do not automatically determine our priorities concerning our marriages, our children, our social life, or even our health. It’s still life, constrained as it may be by limited disposable income or leisure time, and we’re still responsible for making it something we enjoy or endure.”
    —Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
