Establishment of AMWA-SJB

We are pleased to announce that San Juan Bautista School of Medicine has been approved by the American Medical Women’s Association (AMWA), and our school is now an official branch of this organization!

• Being a member of AMWA at the national level qualifies you to receive benefits such as discounts on textbooks, discounts on USMLE prep tools, the opportunity to apply for their scholarships, and a free place to stay for residency interviews.
• As a member of AMWA at San Juan Bautista, you will have the opportunity to volunteer, participate in mentorships, attend events, network with others in your field, and most importantly, you’ll be participating in a movement to advance women in medicine. AMWA is a brand new organization at our school, and you have the unique opportunity to influence its development. 

• All medical students are welcome to join the organization, attend meetings/events, and run for leadership positions, regardless of gender.
• Our first meeting will be held in August. During this meeting, we will discuss our plans for the year and elect members to serve on an executive board and hold other positions within the organization.  We are currently working on planning some events for the future, so stay tuned!
