New Club:�� American Academy of Medicine & Surgery (AAMS)

If you’d like to explore medicine, develop real clinical skills, and build the confidence to thrive in healthcare careers, the new�� on campus may be for you.

��

Inspired by a UCLA Surgical Skills summer program, Sasha Sher, a Physiology & Medical Sciences major at the U of A, created the��AAMS club for students with a curiosity about physiology and medicine and an�� interest in hands-on education in these areas. Open to all pre-health majors, the club offers surgical simulations and physician-led workshops.

��

“While AAMS has a strong medical and surgical emphasis, the club engages with a wide range of medical professionals (from family practice physicians to medical device salesmen) who expose members to many aspects of healthcare,” said Sasha.
