The Race, Ethnicity, & Culture in Health (REACH) Action Committee is responsible for executing AMSA’s programming and advocacy efforts in issues of race, ethnicity, and culture, including but not limited to cultural sensitivity, health disparities, social determinants of health, and diversity in the healthcare workforce. 

Position description

Education Coordinators are understood to serve within the larger context of AMSA’s Advocacy and Action work. Leveraging their areas of expertise, they will engage in the following in close consultation with AMSA’s Legislative Affairs Director:

    • Organize and lead Advocacy Grand Round sessions, which explicitly connect health policy and lived experience, helping members to gain a comprehensive contextual understanding and foundational literacy necessary to meaningfully precede directed advocacy efforts. Grounded first in education, advocacy aims can be targeted, clear, and shaped for meaningful impact.  
    • Develop and maintain educational resources, including but not limited to case-based educational offerings, utilizing both student voices and subject-matter experts to deliver lectures, panels, and interactive material that translates medical and health justice education for future physician knowledge, empowerment, and change.
    • Build a deeply thoughtful bridge between Advocacy & Action, the ÃÛÑ¿appAcademy, and AMSA’s Scholars Programs, positioning members to deepen their understanding of health justice and human rights, alongside building a practice of critical reflection on contemporary social, political, and clinical realities. 
    • Oversee the alignment of committee-specific projects with AMSA’s primary organizational priorities, thoughtfully integrating pillar deliverables into all initiatives.
