As a result of this partnership, AMSA becomes a charter member of ScholarRx's Global Medical Student Alliance, which is designed to empower student organizations with the tools and expertise to build medical education content that is often missing from the curriculum.
This partnership will focus on developing curriculum on policy platforms that are critical to AMSA, including but not limited to:
