Leadership University

Perhaps The AMSA Foundation ’s most enduring legacy has been its role as a leadership school for tomorrow’s physician leaders.

The AMSA Foundation believes that creating leaders in such diverse areas as women’s health, HIV/AIDS, health disparities, community and public health, humanism in medicine, primary care, and rural health, has led and will continue to lead to improved health outcomes among individual patients and whole populations.
