About NU Pre-med AMSA
The American Medical Student Association is is the nation’s oldest and largest student-run organization of physicians-in-training with over 68,000 pre-medical and medical members. AMSA focuses on improving medical training and the nation's health care through advocacy, education reform and student support.
The nearly defunct chapter of Northeastern University AMSA was revitalized in the fall of 2004 by two students (Tamara Buchanan and Kim Lecorps) who had a vision to keep premeds connected. With a small following in membership, the two reorganized the group and launched new meetings for the spring semester of 2005. The pre-medical chapter now continues to help foster the AMSA ideals throughout its pre-medical community with various community service programs, medical school talks and pre-medical conferences. The leadership remains strong both on a local and national level.
