Appointments to AMA councils—student member

. 2 MIN READ

One of the Medical Student Section’s (MSS) most powerful advocacy tools is to appoint student members to the AMA councils. Medical student members of the AMA are appointed by the MSS Governing Council to serve on each of the seven AMA councils. These student councilors are responsible for providing the medical student perspective on topics discussed by the councils and for reporting back to the MSS on council actions and activities.

Medical student members of the AMA are also appointed to serve as representatives/liaisons to other AMA groups and to organizations that work closely with the AMA. These students represent the MSS position on various issues and report back to the MSS on activities that have the potential to affect medical students.
