AMA and AMSA Policy and Reports
- Robin Williams -
“No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world”
Advocacy
Student Well-Being
Student well-being is personal to me. I felt different as the minority who was poor enough to "qualify" for a Pell Grant at my University. And at Medical school, I struggled with mental health. I found out that I was not alone in my struggle with well-being.
​
As Vice-President of Graduate and Professional Student Government at University of Iowa - I helped start and serve on the wellness committee, increased the number of staffing for the counseling center, led the appreciation week for students, and advocate for student wellness in the five year strategic plan for the University of Iowa Health Care
Through organized medicine - I wrote and passed AMA resolutions and reports regarding student wellness, I serve on the AMA-MSS committee on long range planning where we set up programming for preventing student burnout, and write student wellness reports on mental health days and wellness practice, I also chaired the AMSA wellness and student life action committee. We commemorated suicide prevention month and advocated for the Lorna Breen Bill.
Immigrant Rights
My parents came to the United States because it was the land of opportunity, a nation of immigrants. With the rise of anti-immigrant rhetoric, and more extreme immigration enforcement policies, I felt not only that my family was attacked but a core value of what makes America great.
​
As a university student, I brought in multiple speaker to address immigrant rightss. I coordinated a lecture by actress Diane Guerrero who starred in Orange is the New Black and DC's Doom Patrol. I also brought in Physician Advocates like UNRWA Akihiro Seita, Life Undocumented Mario Mendoza, and Project Lifeline Dona Kim Murphey
​
As a medical student, I coordinate a petition for humane treatment of detained immigrants. We collected over 1500 signatures, and published a piece in USA Today. I also served on the advocacy panel for the 2019 LMSA Midwest meeting.
As an AMA member, I co-authored and advocated for multiple resolutions that addressed immigrant rights.
