Mission statement: The African and Caribbean Student Association (ACSA) is committed to bridging the gap with our community and building stronger bonds as we move forward together. 

The American Medical Student Association (AMSA) is the biggest and oldest student-governed, national organization representing aspiring physicians. AMSA has a strong history for its commitment to improving medical training and global health while offering its members networking opportunities and a variety of resources for a successful medical education and career.

Moreover, AMSA is one of the only national student organizations which embraces international medical students and offers them the opportunity to develop and improve leadership and research skills through the plethora of national committees and leadership positions. 

At the UMHS Chapter, members will benefit from hands-on advanced clinical workshops like pan-ophthalmoscopy, intubation, catheterization, vascular doppler, as well as learn and improve clinical, academic, and professional skills through guest talks, webinars, competitions, symposiums.
