American Medical Women's Association

The American Medical Women's Association (AMWA) is an organization of 10,000 women physicians and medical students dedicated to serving as the unique voice for women's health and the advancement of women in medicine. AMWA was founded in 1915, at a time when women physicians were an under-represented minority. As of 1998, 23% of all practicing physicians are women. As women in medicine increase in numbers, new problems and issues arise that were not anticipated. Other medical organizations are starting to recognize these problems and are looking at ways to address them. AMWA has been doing this for over 85 years.
