AMERICAN MEDICAL STUDENTS ASSOCIATION The American Medical Student Association is an organization which represents all medical students in a variety of concerns. Topics of interest for the 1985-1986 Academic year included curriculum changes, health care concerns for the elderly, poor and minorities.

N MEDICAL WOMENS ASSOCIATION. We started the year with a series of learning skills seminars. The first of the series was given by Dr. Mark Gelula on optimizing ones’ learning style. The second was given by Dr. John Pelley on improving test taking skills, and the third was given by Dr. William Carter on learning disorders. In the first semester we also sponsored a thought provoking seminar on dual career relationships given by Dr. Susan Henatick. The final seminar of the first semester was cosponsored by AMWA and TMA, was given by Dr. Ralph Anderson and covered the changing times of medicine as concerns HMO’s, PPO’s, and DRG’s. Four local AMWA members attended the national AMWA covention in San Francisco. The convention was both informative and inspiring. During the second semester AMWA sponsored a series of seminars on Human Sexuality. The first seminar dealt with sexual dysfunctions. The second was a much needed aiscussion given by Dr.’s Jim Chappell and Barry Spires on taking a sexual history. Our goal this year was to bring pertinent and innovative programs to everyone at the meaical school. Through this busy and fruitful year we have reached our goal.
