Resident Membership Launches!

As the Resident Presidents of the American Medical Women's Association (AMWA), it is our great honor to announce the newest addition to the 95 year old AMWA lineage!

The AMWA RD hopes to empower women resident physicians to lead in improving health for all within a model that reflects the unique perspective of women while advancing academically and personally during their training years.  Read the full launch here!
