Career Development
When AMWA was founded in 1915, women represented 5-6% of all physicians in the U.S. The organization's statement of purpose was, "to bring Medical Women into communication with each other for their mutual advantage, and to encourage social and harmonious relations within and without the profession."
In 2006, women represented 28%* of physicians in the U.S. and AMWA is still dedicated to advancing women in medicine by providing networking and mentoring opportunities, and career development resources.
