McLean, Va., March 18, 2021: AMSAPresident Dr. Ali Bokhari made the following statement in response to the acts of violence in Atlanta.

“In light of the recent murders of members of our AAPI community in Atlanta on Tuesday evening, I am sending along a message of love and solidarity to everyone in our AMSAfamily. Our thoughts are with the family members and community members who lost their loved ones yesterday. And we are committed to fighting the racism and hate in the U.S. that costs far too many friends, family, and patients of color their lives.

“We recently heard from APÂé¶¹Ô­´´â€™s President, Donna Tran, at our Annual National Convention. She shared at that time how APAMSAis fighting against anti-Asian racism and violence. AMSAis committed to continuing our work to protect the interests of future physicians and communities across this country, and stands in strong support of our allies at APÂé¶¹Ô­´´.”

Ali Bokhari, DO, MPH, AMSANational President

 

We urge you to review the National APAMSAAnti-Asian Racism Toolkit during this time ().
