Women's Health Action Committee
The Keck AMSA Women's Health Action Committee promotes the interests of future female physicians and female patients, develops leadership opportunities for women in medicine, and promotes knowledge and support of women's health issues.
We create a network for medical students interested in women's issues, advocate for gender equality in medical training, educate medical students and community members about the unique health concerns of women, and politically empower our members to effect change in health policy that governs women's issues.
