Dear
Friend,
It’s exciting to be a part of the
AMSA Foundation now. We
are doing new and amazing things related to our three
initiatives:
• Center for the Future of
Health Care
• Leadership University
• Student Action
Center on Public Health and Medicine
Having been a former national
president of AMSA, I know how important the programs
are that come out of these initiatives. These
programs touch the future of medicine and patients
in so many unique ways.
My own career was shaped
by the launch of the Washington Health Policy Fellowship
program. The AMSA
Foundation supported dozens of student interns from
that program who have gone on to important roles
in formulating policy and guiding public health discussions
about key issues that are still facing us today:
eliminating health disparities; having universal
access to health care; and increasing patient safety.
It
is up to those of us who know what AMSA can do and
who have benefited from its programs in the past
to help the AMSA Foundation continue its mission
to improve medical education, train future doctors,
and influence systematic change. And
those who have benefited include doctors, medical
schools, and patients – that’s
you!
I urge you to join with me in supporting
the AMSA Foundation by making a donation today. In
doing this, you are affecting the future of health
and health care.
Warmly,
James M. Slayton, MD, MBA
President, AMSA Foundation Board of Directors
