AMWA's Mission & History
| AMWA VISION The American Medical Women's Association empowers women to lead in improving health for all within a model that reflects the unique perspective of women. |
| AMWA MISSION The American Medical Women's Association is an organization which functions at the local, national, and international level to advance women in medicine and improve women's health. We achieve this by providing and developing leadership, advocacy, education, expertise, mentoring, and strategic alliances. |
| AMWA BACKGROUND The American Medical Women's Association (AMWA) is an organization of 10,000 women physicians and medical students dedicated to serving as the unique voice for women's health and the advancement of women in medicine. AMWA was founded by Dr. Bertha VanHoosen in 1915, at a time when women physicians were an under-represented minority. As women in medicine increase in numbers, new problems and issues arise that were not anticipated. AMWA has been addressing these issues for 90 years. |  |
