New "Premedical Basics" Crunch Sheets Added to Our Toolkit! |
We recently created crunch sheets for our members related to clinical experience, volunteering, shadowing, and research. We know that this year has been and continues to be incredibly challenging, but we hope that these resources will help give you some ideas and guide you in the right direction during your premedical experience.
Remember that we have lots of other helpful resources available to you within our Toolkit as well!
If you have any questions or ideas for new resources, Iris, our Programming Chair, would love to hear from you at [email protected].

AMWA X Osmosis: Women in History Month Video Submissions
As you might know, March is Women's History Month. This year, we are inviting AMWA members to celebrate together by working with Osmosis to create a video that highlights women in history that have inspired us. They do not have to be medically focused, but of course if they inspired you to pursue science/medicine, that is surely something to celebrate.
Complete the form by Monday, February 8 and you'll be awarded 1 month of FREE Osmosis Prime. You'll receive an email to activate your Osmosis Prime by Wednesday, February 10. The video will appear in early March, but don't worry, AMWA will let all your members know.
