The Asian Pacific American Medical Student Association (APAMSA) is a national organization of medical and pre-medical students committed to addressing the unique health challenges of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities. APAMSA provides a platform for student leaders to explore and respond to the complex social, cultural, and systemic factors that influence AANHPI health. Through local, regional, and national initiatives, APAMSA promotes community wellness, health equity, and culturally responsive care by developing service projects, educational programs, and policy advocacy efforts.

In addition to advancing community health, APAMSA fosters leadership, mentorship, and collaboration among future healthcare professionals. By connecting students through shared values of service and cultural awareness, APAMSA empowers the next generation of physicians to better understand, represent, and serve the diverse AANHPI population.
