The Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) chapter of the Asian Pacific American Medical Student Association (APAMSA) recently received an award for chapter of the year for community advocacy work at APAMSA’s national conference at the New York University School of Medicine.

Every year, MCW APASMA conducts numerous events to serve the local Asian American population in Milwaukee. These events include assisting with the Hmong New Year health screenings and monthly health screenings at the Phongsavan market, exhibiting at the Neighborhood House of Milwaukee Health Fair, appearances on Hmong radio and Hmong Nyob Zoo TV, conducting the Hmong Health Education Program and coaching students with pre-med mock interviews.

APAMSA is a national organization of medical and pre-medical students committed to addressing the unique health challenges of Asian and Pacific Islander American (APIA) communities. APAMSA serves as a forum for student leaders to engage these health issues and develop initiatives and projects addressing those needs. The local, regional and national activities of APAMSA aim to promote the health of the APIA community and help healthcare workers understand how to care for APIA patients in a culturally sensitive manner. This organization also provides an important venue for medical students to meet, exchange experiences and develop personally and professionally through leadership and service.

Additionally, APAMSA conducts events for MCW to promote its mission, including: conscious conversations, Asian and Pacific Islander (API) cultural awareness fair, diversity specialties dinner, bone marrow drives and API health disparities lunch discussions.
