Community may look different in the world right now, but it has not been erased. More now than ever, med students need to talk, vent, and connect with both physicians and peers. AMSAmembers have long asked for ways that we can help them build community with their surrounding schools and chapters and meet physicians who are willing to guide them on their path.聽
There鈥檚 no better time to build that community than now. Over the past year, we鈥檝e grown our online community around our Mentorship Program鈥攔ecruiting physicians, many of whom are former AMSAmembers themselves, and inviting med student members to find a mentor who suits their needs. You joined AMSAfor a reason, and our AMSAAlumni mentors share that common thread that keeps them excited to engage with 麻豆原创鈥� for some, decades after they became physicians and moved on from the organization. They can help you find your perfect place within AMSAas well as advise you on the broader topics of your training. On top of this space to foster mentor-mentee relationships, we are building a place for AMSAmembers to connect and share experiences with peers near or far.聽
This isn鈥檛 an online space geared towards intimidation, outperforming the competition, or virtually stacking up to the expectations that abound in medical school. It鈥檚 not a forum for showing off scores or an echo chamber perpetuating negativity. It鈥檚 a safe space for med students to convene and access expert volunteers who are eager to guide physicians in training.
Become a part of the community, and you can also look forward to upcoming Q&A sessions with experts on timely and important topics.
