What will your legacy be?
For nearly 100 years, the American Medical Women's Association has been helping women make history. What will your legacy be? AMWA established the legacy fund to support a permanent museum exhibit of medical women in history. To commemorate AMWA's Centennial Celebration we are in pre-production on a documentary about the "History of Women in Medicine: Past, Present and Future." Is your life one that should be included in the documentary? For years, AMWA has been at the forefront encouraging women to reach for their dreams and providing the support and resources to help make their dreams come true.
