Dear AMWA Readers,


     The American Medical Women’s Association works to advance women in medicine and improve the health of all individuals.  AMWA believes mentoring and networking events are a crucial part of this process.  Our biggest mentoring and networking event of the year will take place in Miami, Florida on April 13-15, 2012.  You can register on our website now! 


      We want to give you $150 to support your next AMWA Networking and/or Mentoring Event!  The event can be any AMWA sponsored event that promotes networking and mentoring among medical students, residents, physicians and allied health professionals.  AMWA branches recently held “Wine & Cheese” socials and “Muffins with Mentors” breakfast meetings to discuss exam preparation and study skills.
