AMSA
President's Message
l
Since January 2004, our AMSA chapter has seen
an increase in student membership, a growing
interest in AMSA-sponsored activities, and a
new enthusiasm for the organization’s
impact on students’ overall medical school
experiences. In February and June we had over
one hundred students in attendance for our IV
clinics, while in March and July close to fifty
students signed up for our suturing workshops.
Additionally, our AMSA chapter proudly hosted
the college’s First Annual Faculty/Staff
Appreciation Dinner on March 30. After viewing
the HIV/AIDS documentary A Closer Walk in late
May, we chose to raise money for Crusaid, the
UK’s largest HIV/AIDS fundraising organization
and subsequently participated in their 10K “Walk
for Life” fundraiser in London on June
20. Finally, on July 20 AMSA facilitated the
first-ever Clinical Skills workshop at SCCOM,
which featured hands-on stations for tracheal
intubation, blood glucose screening, heart and
lung sounds, and blood pressure screening.

Health Insurance
St. Christopher's College
of Medicine provides malpractice insurance for
their clinical students but does not cover for
health insurance. It is mandatory that clinical
students get health insurance on their own before
starting clerkships. Students who do not submit
proof of health insurance will not be allowed
to start their rotations. We recommend that
students obtain health insurance through AMSA
since they offer affordable rates.
The insurance plan
is underwritten by:
The MEGA Life and Health
Insurance Company
Submit all claims &
claim inquiries to:
