Introducing

2020 APAMSA

Region VI & VIII

Virtual Conference

We are pleased to invite you to the first-ever combined region VI & VIII Asian and Pacific American Medical Student Association (APAMSA) conference: “Shaping Y(our) Future: Diversity and Advocacy in 2020”. 

​

The members of APAMSA have witnessed many conferences and workshops that addressed the unique educational, leadership, healthcare, and cultural barriers that members of the APIA community face in their daily lives. This conference aims to understand what our impact might look like after just scratching the surface. With medicine becoming increasingly progressive with modern technology, it is important that APAMSA follow suit in our own unique way.

​

The theme should lead attendees to discover intersectionalities they are passionate about and to be inspired by their peers and mentors on the possible new advancements in the field. This regional conference rallies our energetic membership to refine and guide their ability to take positive actions in our community. While the past has countless stories, advice, and memories that can never be replaced the future holds so much potential to reshape a better world than we were introduced to.
