Along with helping to drive and develop this curriculum, AMWA members will be granted access to these materials through the Rx Bricks digital learning system developed by ScholarRx.

AMWA's president, Nicole Sandhu, MD, PhD, states, "We are very excited to partner with ScholarRx and to become a charter member of MeSAGE, a wonderful initiative providing much-needed tools and expertise to build education content in areas of critical importance. This will help support our medical students' education, and is in alignment with AMWA's mission, vision, and values. We are delighted to see this well-aligned partnership come to fruition and so proud of our students."

Dr. Tao Le, founder and CEO of ScholarRx, comments, "Through MeSAGE, we are excited to partner with AMWA to address deep education needs at a global level and to help medical students define, build, and learn the key content that may be missing from the standard curriculum."
