American Medical Women's Association:

The Vision and Voice of Women in Medicine Since 1915

2010 Annual Meeting- AMWA's 95th Anniversary Meeting! March 25-28, 2010- Washington DC

The  95th Anniversary AMWA Annual Meeting was a phenomenal success.  Held in conjunction with the 18th Annual Women's Health Congress, there were over 1,000 joint attendees and a schedule packed with outstanding CME lectures by leading clinical experts.  On Advocacy Day, AMWA partnered with Physicians for Reproductive Choice and Health and together met with over 70 legislative offices on Capitol Hill to advocate for the passage of health care reform and women's reproductive health. 

 A highlight for all was AMWA's 95th Anniversary Gala during which AMWA award winners and new inductees to the International Women in Medicine Hall of Fame were honored.  Special guests included 13 past presidents, former Executive Director Eileen McGrath, past Director of Special Programs Marie Glanz, and Dr. Kavita Patel, former Director of Policy for the White House Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs.  Keynote speaker, Dr. Vivian Pinn, challenged us all to envision the future of women's health and women as physicians and to work together to make that vision a reality.  The evening culminated in the unveiling of the Woven Word Quilt, a symbolic representation by AMWA students of our collective hopes for healthcare reform.
