About Us
The Asian Pacific American Medical Student Association (APAMSA) at UCSF seeks to be a cornerstone in the conversation about Asian American, Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander (AANHPI) identities and physicianship, and what it means to understand and address the needs of diverse AANHPI communities and all communities of color. As future AANHPI health professionals, we challenge and examine the responsibilities we have towards advocating for and promoting the health of our own communities, while also educating ourselves on the role we play in the broader fight against racial injustice. We hope to build an allied community that highlights our unique experiences and provide a space for joy, education, and advocacy. APAMSA at UCSF is a local chapter of APAMSA, a national organization of medical and pre-medical students committed to addressing the unique health challenges of AANHPI communities.
