 Margaret
was able to organize a screening of a short educational film
she helped produce on the subject of chronic depression in
the Asian community. Afterwards, a professional panel consisting
of Asian psychiatrists, community physicians, and other health
care professionals led a discussion about depression and other
psychiatric illnesses faced by Asians in particular. Take

The
APAMSA sponsored field trip to the Shiley Eye Clinic was a
huge success! A good-sized group of people visited the clinic
to hear a presentation given by Dr. Laura Brody on the unique

Mission
Statement:
APAMSA
is the Asian Pacific American Medical Student Association.
We
are a national organization that aims to address those issues
important to Asian-American medical students.
One
part of our mission is to bring together Asians and others
interested in the health issues that affect Asians so that
we may have a strong, collective, public and political voice.
We are interested in both directly promoting the health and
well-being of the Asian community as well as in helping all
health care workers who work with these communities understand
how to care for the Asian patient in a culturally sensitive
manner. Finally, APAMSA provides an important forum for APA
medical students to meet, exchange information and experiences
and develop personally and professionally.
